Rafting one mile deep through Hells Canyon of the Snake River in Idaho, it is obvious why the Nez Perce Indians were drawn to this “Place of Shadows.” As North America’s deepest river gorge, Hells Canyon, with Idaho’s towering Seven Devils Mountains and Oregon’s Blue Mountains, combined with world class rapids, cultural history, beautiful beaches, and warm water, proves to be a trip of a lifetime for all ages.
Experience the diverse history of Hells Canyon, floating through this “wild and scenic” designated section of river among towering mountain peaks, precipitous granite outcroppings, breathtaking vistas and quiet solitude. Dividing Idaho and Oregon, the Snake River slinks past barren, steep slopes, alpine areas in the Seven Devil’s Mountain Range (named for a vision of seven dancing devils that appeared to an Indian lost in the area) and lushly vegetated areas at lower elevations. The extreme elevation changes create a wonderland for rare flora and fauna, and wildlife. Spot sunbathing otters along the shore, nesting bald eagles, the butterfly-like flight of the tiny Western Pipistrelle bat, bighorn sheep, badgers, black bear, or even the rare Peregrine falcon.
Awake each morning to the sounds of chirping birds, the warmth of the sunrise, and the smell of coffee. Enjoy a delectable breakfast prepared by your guides while you get ready for a day on the river. Whether your day consists of surging through world-class rapids such as Wild Sheep, Granite Creek, and Waterspout, hiking to see pictographs and petroglyphs left by native Americans, or exploring rock shelters from early European settlers, your day will be adventuresome, rejuvenating, and relaxing.
Our Hells Canyon rafting adventure runs are either 3 or 5 day trips. On this relaxing multi-day adventure through the deepest canyon in North America, all gear is included (camping equipment, rafting gear, and meals). If you have special needs, we can tailor the trip to your particular family or group.
