Spend a week in the Great Northwest, on the beautiful Salmon River. This unique trip features nightly beer dinners accompanied by classic beers from Belgium, Germany, Britain, the Czech Republic, North America and more.
Known as "The River of No Return" by Lewis and Clark, and full of rolling rapids, the Main Salmon is one of the world's great rafting rivers. Large, sandy beaches, a canyon deeper than the Grand Canyon itself, varied and abundant wild-life, as well as varied side trips to historical and geographical places of interest make the Main Salmon the adventure of a lifetime. No phones, no work, no worries - just oars and paddles and the roar of rushing whitewater as you go places only accessible by river. Add great beer and food, and even great things get better.
The Canyon The Salmon River carves out the second deepest canyon in North America. During spring run-off this free flowing river deposits vast white sand beaches which make camp just as fun as the river!
Choose Your Craft on the River Relax and watch for wildlife on an oar boat, paddle with a team on one of the self-bailing rafts, or jump in an inflatable kayak for a more adventurous ride.

Notes
Weather and Camping The weather is generally great this time of year with sunny afternoons and clear, cool nights. Afternoons can get a little hot, but you won't notice with the cool river always a splash away. Complete details will distributed before the trip.
You might be surprised by how comfortable the camping is. Each year, during its frre-flowing spring runoff, pounds of white sand are deposited on the banks of the Salmon, making lots of clean sandy beaches. Evenings are spent beer tasting, with campfires and a universe of stars above. The guides and crew are expert at making camp life easy, complete with a clean, sanitary, portable bathroom system.
Please Note: The overall style of the trip is best suited for adventurous, beer-loving travelers who want the thrill of whitewater, the serenity of a spectacular canyon and river system, great food and beer and the camaraderie of like minded people.
