All Salmon on the Upper Main Salmon near Stanley, Idaho are anadromous fish: they are born in the fresh water of the Salmon River, migrate to the ocean, then return to the Salmon some 900 miles to reproduce or “spawn”. The federal government just gave these fish a huge break by allowing dams that impede their progress to spill water aiding these young salmon (smolts) have a more natural trip to the ocean.
Right now, millions of salmon and steelhead smolts from Idaho are on the ride of their lives as they attempt to dodge hungry predators and other serious obstacles on their downstream migration to the ocean. But one thing the smolts won’t have to contend with on their perilous journey is the curtailment of water spills over dams on the lower Snake River.
This is great news for Salmon and means that if you join us in the next few years you will have a better chance of viewing these amazing fish on one of our trips.

President Obama spoke on Friday at the White House Conference on America’s Great Outdoors. Reading the transcript all of us at The River Company appreciate the quote below. We believe families need to spend more time outdoors. If you are on the fence about your vacation choices this Summer, give a vacation that enables you and your family to be outside some additional thought. And if you end up in Idaho, come by and give us a visit.
Third, we’ll help families spend more time outdoors, building on what the First Lady has done through the “Let’s Move” initiative to encourage young people to hike and bike and get outside more often.
Link to the full transcript.

It is true. At certain times of the year it seems that Stanley has more dogs than human inhabitants. And at The River Company we do love our dogs. On that note, we would like to welcome another addition to the family. (more…)

Just got wind of a great video about the Sawtooth National Recreation Area put together by the Sawtooth Society. Really worth the time if you are considering visiting Stanley, Idaho.

After cold temps and rain, snow has arrived in Idaho. River Rafters in Idaho are always excited to see snow. Simply put water lovers get to play with twice. First in the mountains in the winter and then we get to raft and kayak on it with you in the summer months. We have our fingers crossed for a great snow year after the past 2 years of great water flows. With any luck we will be skiing by Thanksgiving in Idaho.

Planning your Stanley, Idaho vacation just got easier. Our good friends at the Stanley-Sawtooth Chamber of Commerce just re-designed their website. If you are planning other activities than rafting in Stanley, the new site breaks down nicely horseback trail rides, mountain bike rides, fishing, and other Stanley Idaho Events. Take a moment and browse the site. I am sure they would like feedback as well.
See you in Stanley this summer,
Dave

The sun is finally shining in Idaho. These last two weeks have blessed us with more snow bringing our yearly snow totals in the Stanley basin to 100%. With some much needed sun on our faces we are thinking about our summer plans. These are trying times and we want to remain optimistic. We would like to offer a $5 dollar discount to our returning guests this year. When you call to confirm a reservation just let us know you heard about the discount on our blog. We know it is a small thing, but we would love to have you float with us again this summer. Don’t forget to check out our Idaho Vacation planning page. There is quite a bit of information about Sun Valley, Stanley, & the SNRA as well as outfitters we recommend for longer trips.
See you in a few months, we will be rafting in Sun Valley in no time.
