River trips --- The Perfect Vacation!

We invite you to venture down the spectacular rivers of Montana and Idaho. Considered to wild by America's great early explorers, our trip destinations are some of the most pristine areas of Lewis & Clark's expedition route. The Main Salmon River is a perfect multi-day outdoor adventure. Plan your own private launch date for a reunion of friends & family or secluded corporate retreat. This river is appropriate for families and all paddling levels. A free flowing, the Salmon carves out the second deepest canyon in the US and after high water, leaves vast white sand beaches for camping. The Alberton Gorge is a fun family day float just 35 miles from Missoula, MT. The Lochsa River boasts dozens of Class IV rapids, don't miss this high-adventure ride during May & June run-off, only 1 hour from Missoula, MT.

We offer a variety of trips: Multi-day river trips, scenic river trips by canoe, exciting whitewater during spring run-off, hiking and biking on the historic Lolo Trail, or custom-designed combination of adventure destinations.
