In a deep canyon, beautiful blue-green waters entice you with comfortable temperatures for rafting and quiet sections of the river and deep pools for a relaxing swim and scenic enjoyment. |
 Camp on sandy beaches with pine forests and granite mountains at your back. |
 Wildlife are your neighbors and ancient rock paintings your art galleries. |
| Your adventure begins with moderate rapids that will prepare you for the challenging rapids downstream. Next stop, Barth Hot Springs, one of the best hot spring pools on the river. After relaxing at camp in this spectacular mountain wilderness, it's off through the mile-deep, densely-forested canyon to run several other exciting rapids. You'll have time to explore Campbell's Ferry Ghost Town and Buckskin Bill's Compound, even play some beach volleyball and take a swim. On the final day, you'll maneuver two of the largest rapids on the trip. After lunch, you'll take a scenic ride to McCall, Idaho. |  |
