I love the story of the Turtle and the Hare. I know I need to be consistently reminded to slow down to win the race. Lucky for those living in the Stanley Basin our 125% snow pack has heard this story too. Typical temps for May usually are hovering around the 60’s and 70’s. Last year on our training trip on the Salmon it was close to 90 degrees. This year you can count on one hand the day’s that it has been warmer than 50. What does this mean for those wanting to raft the Salmon River this year? Great water flows. Our river rafting trips are always a good time, but the more water the better. Low elevation snows are off and we have our higher elevation snows ready to come off nice and easy, which translates into great water flows all summer long.
Hope to see you all this summer.

The River Company was proud to host the Stanley stop for Taste and Tour Idaho, a media tour of Idaho highlighting Idaho food and wine. After touring Idaho’s wine country and vineyards the team of writers and Idaho representatives was ready for a bit of Idaho whitewater adventure. Not to be outdone by the rest of the tour, we served Organic Lava Lake lamb, All-natural Snake River Farms beef, fresh Idaho grown potatoes, and locally grown greens. Although this menu is not our daily trip offering, if you are looking for a private group rafting trip we would love to accommodate you. Read the rest of this entry »

Made fresh every day, it has certainly become a guest and guide favorite. Many of our guests have asked for it, so here you go. Read the rest of this entry »

Idaho snow pack continues to grow in the month of February. As of February 19th the Salmon River Basin is sitting at 120%. Great news for Boaters! The last week has seen welcome high pressure and sunny days giving us the opportunity to dig out. We are starting to hear from our staff as the river season approaches.
Tom is enjoying graduate school at Vanderbilt and planning a mid summer trip to Africa. Sean and D’Layne are in Sun Valley ski patroling and getting ready to dive back into nursing school. Sean plans on riding his bike to New York to visit family before the season begins. Celina is working for a non-profit in Seattle with breaks to come back to Sun Valley to enjoy some skiing. Telera just returned from Maui this week and just built a homemade Sauna in her backyard. Read the rest of this entry »

Woaa! We are off to a great snow year so far. Winter in Idaho is really taking shape, translating to great water levels all summer long. We are getting snow storm after snow storm with break in sight.
Some of our mid summer dates are filling up. If you have a specific date in mind call early.
