Idaho Rafting Trips on the Salmon

FAQ'S At the start of the trip Trips start in Boise or Salmon, ID.  An orientation is held the night before you depart on the river to answer questions and pass out river gear. Transportation is provided to the river put in at Corn Creek the following morning by the outfitter. Camping / Toilet Facilities Camping in the canyon is one of the great pleasures of the trip. You may hike, fish, read or relax and enjoy the view of the river and the canyon. Outfitters either provide a full sleep kit or you can rent one for the trip. Sleep kits consist of a freshly laundered sleeping bag, an inflatable sleeping pad and ground tarp which make sleeping on the ground comfortable. Tents are always available in case of rain. A clean camp toilet and hand wash system in a private setting is the first thing set up upon arrival in camp and the last to be dismantled the next morning. It is similar to home except with a better view and it doesn't flush. A separate day use version is always available for your comfort and peace of mind. Age limitations Most outfitters want kids to be 5-12 depending on the river. This can be a great trip for kids but in considering at trip make sure to think about the child's camping experience and overall preparedness for living outside.    Gratuities It is customary to tip the river crew if you received a satisfactory trip.  The acknowledgement of a job well done is greatly appreciated by the crew members.  A tip is optional but as a guideline we would suggest approximately 5% of the cost of your trip.   Meals. All the outfitters pride themselves on the variety found in their menus.  Fresh fruits, vegetables and meats comprise the main ingredients.  Special dietary needs can be accommodated if known ahead of time.
