Now is your chance to explore the Salmon! Join the expert crew of Hughes River Expeditions for a fully-guided 6-day rafting adventure for two on the Middle Fork of the Salmon*!

The Middle Fork is famous as America's best river rafting trip. The area offers an incredible variety of wildlife, including Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep, mountain goat, mule deer, elk, cougar, black bear, otter, coyote, osprey, eagle, forest grouse, chukar partridge, and kingfisher. From the put-in at Boundary Creek (elevation 5,700 ft.) to the take-out at Cache Bar, 100 miles downstream, the Middle Fork descends 2,700 feet. You'll float through dense forests, along sage and mountain mahogany covered hillsides, and finally between the sheer granite cliffs of Impassable Canyon.

There are plenty of rapids that make the Middle Fork a first-class whitewater run. Tributaries gradually quadruple the Middle Fork's volume. As the stream transforms into a major river, quiet pools and calm stretches alternate with the rapids. The last day, the Middle Fork's full force is focused into the whitewater of Impassable Canyon. Middle Fork is a Class III-IV whitewater river, with several Class IV rapids.

Fishing on the Middle Fork of the Salmon is excellent. The Middle Fork is a "Blue Ribbon" Westslope Cutthroat trout fishery, and a spectacular dry fly fishing stream; your trip includes guided fly fishing! (More experienced anglers can arrange fishing rafts with two fishers and a guide per raft for an additional cost.)

This fully outfitted trip includes meals, beverages, sleeping gear, river gear, expert guides and more! Bring your sense of adventure and don't miss your chance to explore one of our region's most celebrated landscapes!

*Winning bidder can choose from either the Middle Fork or a trip on the Main Salmon.
