Days 2, 3, and 4: nothing but exploration, relaxation and adventure....

We keep our trips flexible and choose activities to suit each group. In order to accommodate varying comfort levels guests can choose to challenge the rapids in an inflatable kayak, paddle raft or ride on a gear boats, each offering a different river experience. Our days on the river will be filled with epic vistas, fun rapids, hot springs, great food and historic homesteads. Each evening your guides will prepare an amazing riverside cuisine while you enjoy beach games, fish, explore and relax.

Take-Out Day :

The last morning on the river is always bitter-sweet. The anxiety of leaving the river behind and entering the real world is on everyone's minds as we enjoy a riverside breakfast and load the boats for the final time. Its not long and that anxiety is washed away by excitement as we approach Vinegar Falls, the biggest rapid on the trip. Following a clean run thru Vinegar and a few smaller rapids we arrive at Carey Creek Boat Ramp, the end of our adventure. Guides and guests will re-live the adventure over our last lunch before parting ways. While guides clean and pack the gear guests will enjoy a scenic drive back to McCall, Idaho to their awaiting hotel, connecting flight or car.
