Middle Fork Salmon

Middle Fork Salmon, IDThe Middle Fork is proof that people were meant to take river trips. . . .

One hundred miles of pristine river blessed with clear water, dreamy hot springs, tumbling side streams, fine fishing, and excellent rapids make the Middle Fork the classic mountain river.

Starting out as a creek-like stream in a heavily forested canyon, the Middle Fork grows into a full-fledged river as it pounds its way through the sheer, rock-walled Impassable Canyon. Along the way there are vistas of breathtaking variety, sidestreams beckoning to be explored, campsites protected by majestic pines and rapids that change throughout the season and provide plenty of excitement. The water is gin-clear and the fly-fishing for native cutthroats is superb. There may not be a better river trip on this planet.

Our 5 and 6 day whitewater rafting trips begin in the quaint Rocky Mountain hamlet of Stanley, 2 hours and millions of dollars from Sun Valley, and end in the rugged cowboy town of Salmon.

 

"The only complaint is that the trip ended too soon."

Teresa Burns Gunther

 

"Your guides have got IT! They like people, therefore everything else just works out well."

ARTA GUIDE
LUKE SCHILLINGTON

If it wasn't for his cool summer job as a river guide, Luke would be a nerd. He had a 4.2 GPA and was a member of the National Honors Society in High School in Sedona, Arizona; he graduated summa cum laude from Arizona State University with a BS in Geography and he is currently teaching Geography 416A (that's basic Computer Cartography without Spatial Analysis for all you non-nerds out there) while pursuing his Masters in Geography and Water Policy from the University of Arizona. Chess Club anyone? If he hadn't taken a Yampa trip when he was eight and fallen in love with the river, he'd be pale, lonely and gainfully employed right now.
