Lower Salmon River Rafting - Idaho Wilderness

This section of the mighty Salmon River guides us through four stunning canyons Green, Cougar, Snowhole and Blue Canyons — as the surroundings change from sheer rock canyons to rolling mountains plated in golden grass.
This section of the mighty Salmon River guides us through four stunning canyons Green, Cougar, Snowhole and Blue Canyons — as the surroundings change from sheer rock canyons to rolling mountains plated in golden grass. At high water, huge standing waves and chomping rapids command the attention of whitewater enthusiasts. Later in the summer, the Lower Salmon calms down inviting families to enjoy warm water, white sandy beaches and family-friendly rapids. The Salmon meets the voluminous Snake River for the last 20 miles of our trip, before we return to the responsibilities we’d forgotten on the river.

Day 1 :
Meet group at Holiday River Expeditions headquarters in Grangeville, Idaho.  After a thirty-minute ride to the river, we launch the trip at Hammer Creek (near Whitebird). Downstream we will stop at shorts bar, where we will find our first pictographs-ancient Nez Perce writings.  Run some exciting rapids in Green Canyon and enjoy the plentiful white sand beaches that appear along the shores of the Lower Salmon.
Day 2 :
Negotiate Bodacious Bounce, Lorna’s Lulu, Snowhole, and China rapids in Cougar and Snowhole Canyons.  We will have a possibility to view some Nez Perce tipi rings and pits.  There is plenty of opportunity for fishing, hiking and just plain relaxing at camp.
Day 3 :
In high water, extra care is taken to batten down the hatches in preparation for Devil’s Slide.  During high water levels, this is the hardest hitting rapid in Idaho.  Eye of the Needle and Checkerboard rapids provide more excitement before we set up camp.  Today we may hike up to the Wapshilla Ranch.  This was one of several ranches in the Salmon River Canyon run by Nez Perce family.
Day 4 :
Reach the confluence of the Snake and Salmon Rivers.  We may stop at Cottonwood Creek and Cache Bar, two more important Nez Perce sites.  The final miles of this excursion are flat water, where we may use the assistance of a motor.  After floating the lower part of Hell’s Canyon, we reach our take out point at Heller Bar and return to our headquarters in Grangeville, Idaho.

Guides Russ, Molly, and Mike are each incredible people -- they created a really fun and safe experience that we will all remember forever. My husband and I arrived pretty tired from our working lives...we left feeling relaxed and regenerated. My whole family has talked often of this trip -- we absolutely loved our time on the river. I wasn't expecting the fun bag of costumes! The last night of gifts was great -- funny and heart warming. Thanks. Incredible! Thank you!!
