11 Things You Should Bring on a River Trip

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

 

"My husband and I recently returned from an ARTA trip on the Middle Fork. We were with two children and five grandchildren. The trip was a 50th wedding anniversary present from our children. We had a wonderful time. It was perfectly organized. The guides were knowledgeable about the history, flora, fauna and geology of the area. They were aware of us at all times; life jackets buckled, helmets on properly, swimming safely. Their skill in navigating the river and rapids was extraordinary. I never felt a moment of fear. On top of all this, they were great cooks, always cheerful and entertaining. Their perfect organization was almost unbelievable. I will always recommend ARTA to anyone. Thanks for a marvelous experience."
