After reliving the past 5 years on the Salmon River & in the Sawtooths by sifting through hundreds of images of Idaho River Rafting, Sun Valley Rafting, Idaho Mountain Biking, Sun Valley Fly Fishing I finally have a finished product!

Let me introduce you to the new Sawtooth Adventure Company Website and Online Booking Tool

Take the leap…and join SAC for the Ultimate Family Adventure

I must admit….though I own/operate a wilderness adventure company, like everyone else I am always connected. My Iphone is never far away and I think the Ipad might be the coolest toy since full suspension mountain bikes. During the winter I find myself digesting digital media equal to the big business guy plugged into the stock market. Against my better judgments and with Christmas on the horizon, the desire for more digital screens, devices and apps only grows.

I pride myself on being an active and involved family man. I strive to rage against the machine, but admittedly family time can still deteriorate into our own screens. When I think about how much of our lives will be absorbed into our digital devices it makes me sad. In this busy world of productivity, volatile markets, tweets, status updates and breaking news it is only getting harder to pull ourselves away from the screen.

As parents in the midst of the daily grind it takes a conscious effort to log-off …..and connect with what matters. I cherish the chats on the chairlift with my daughter during a cold, snowy powder day. Or the uninterrupted, warm & sunny beach walks with my wife. I look forward to spending a spring weekend surrounded by redrocks and the desert stars. Though mostly, without question… I look forward to our annual family river trips. For my family it happens every year, sometimes twice, but it never loses its magic. Those five days where I watch fellow parents fully engage with their kids… their laughter… their anxiety’s… their successes and their failures. I watch the parent-child relationship evolve through the daily discovery of the unknown. Those that have experienced the Salmon River know exactly what I am talking about.

So in an effort to ditch the device I will keep exploring, seeking out moments to disconnect. In this crazy world of trends, soundbites, bipartisan politics and digi-devices… more than ever, we to truly and completely need an escape. So if in your journeys you find a better opportunity than the Salmon River and The Frank Church Wilderness to reconnect with the fam, let me know…

Happy Holidays,

Jared

The leaves are changing, there is snow in the forecast and rumors of La Nina returning with a vengeance. Before we completely forget about the warm Idaho sun, crystal clear waters of the Salmon River and the silence of the Frank Church Wilderness… We want to thank you.

2011 Annual Kids Trip

The SAC crew would like to thank all of the new friends we made during the 2011 rafting season. All in all… It was the most successful summer, ever!

THANK YOU!

Its Official… The 2011 Annual Kids trip has set the standard!

A great mixture of families consisting of 14 kids & 12 adults from Maryland, California, Tennessee, Washington and Utah joined the SAC crew for a 5 day unforgettable family adventure on Idaho’s Salmon River of No Return.

Every summer Sawtooth Adventure Company designates its July 29th Main Salmon Trip to families with kids. All SAC Main Salmon trips are family friendly, but this trip is different. During the Annual Kids Trip our young adventurers are the focus of our attention. We bring a variety of beach games, sand toys, lots of kayaks, Stand Up Paddle boards and more to make sure every moment is full of fun. We adjust the menu, schedule, and activities guaranteeing our little adventurous a trip of a lifetime.

On day 1 some of the parents were apprehensive about camping for 4 nights in the largest wilderness in the US. Following the first night of comfortable camping, appetizers, great food and cold beverages they coined the phrase “Glam-ping” and all apprehensions floated down stream.

After 5 days with tons of giggles, lots of laughter, fun rapids, great wildlife, new friends, and amazing food… It was unanimous, the SAC kids trip was a screaming success.

The popularity of SAC’s ultimate family adventure has caught like wildfire. Families are already making reservations for the 2012 trip and space is limited. Book now to reserve your families adventure of a lifetime
