Salmon get some needed help
Wednesday, April 21st, 2010
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 Speaks at America’s Great Outdoors Conference
Monday, April 19th, 2010
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.

Idaho Snow
Thursday, November 12th, 2009
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.
Sun Valley Idaho Rafting
Wednesday, November 11th, 2009
Our 2009 season was the best season for river trips in Sun Valley in 10 years. If you are planning a trip to Sun Valley and would like to go rafting below is a summary of what we offer for next summer.
We have two basic trip options.
- River Rafting with Lunch. This is by far our most popular trip, we float an 11 mile section of class II and III whitewater. Half way through the trip we pull over at our riverside lunch camp where our chef is putting the finishing touches on the best meal in the Sawtooth Valley. Daily, Cindy puts together a fresh, healthy, and wonderful meal balancing unique flavors from around the world with the little ones always in mind. If your child doesn’t like the daily special, we always have PB & J on stand by. We can also accommodate any dietary needs you might have. And all of our meals typically have a vegetarian side dish that can be served as a entree. Don’t be shy we would love to make you something special. Good food and good guides make a great river trip.
- Straight Shot. In a hurry or want to sleep in? Our afternoon trip has the same stretch of white water, only we have a snack stop instead of lunch. Water and a granola bar are served riverside.
We hope to see you this coming Summer. Always call with any questions.

Planning your Stanley Idaho Vacation
Thursday, July 2nd, 2009
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
