After an early breakfast we drive about two hours to our put-in on the Salmon River. The Salmon River is the longest undammed river contained in a single state in the lower 48 U.S. states. It flows from the south-central Idaho through some of the most remote count...

More majestic mountain scenery, warm water, run rapids and discovery. By now everyone is settled into the natural rhythm of the river, fully relaxed and fully unplugged from the worries and stresses of daily life. Part of the magic of a river trip is connecting with others – both those you know and new friends. The spell has taken hold.
Most of today is spent on the Snake River with towering canyon mountains on each side – Oregon to the west and Idaho to the east. We have a few more rapids, time for a swim and more strokes in the river’s water and, time to reflect upon the week’s adventure.

What is the camping like?
The ROW style of camping is very comfortable. On most trips a cargo boat travels ahead to set up your spacious tent and a complete kitchen area. We provide thick sleeping pads, nice sleeping bags, flannel liners and pillows. Meals are served at tables with chairs and we do the dishes. Solar showers offer the chance to wash up during the trip. Summer nights in Idaho, Oregon and Montana are typically warm and some guests enjoy sleeping under the stars. If you're still concerned give us a call.
ROW is firmly committed to the responsible stewardship of the rivers we run and the earth at large. In our office, at our warehouses and on the river we abide by the 3 R's - Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. On the river we take every possible precaution to minimize our impact. Everything we carry in, we carry out. We build our fires in metal fire pans and carry out the ashes.
