Serious Wilderness

Personal experiences

We offer customized and flexible trips without the hassle and stress of a traditional vacation. Our laid-back style will have you relaxed in no time.

Be a part of the adventure

Participation in every facet of the trip is encouraged and welcomed. Want to learn how to cook in a Dutch oven, row a rapid, identify birds, or master your fly-fishing cast? We feel most people enjoy a little physical challenge and we want you to take advantage of our knowledge and years of experience. Join in the action or just sit back, relax, and enjoy yourself. It’s up to you!

Personal attention

Low guest to guide ratio allows us to cater to a variety of interests within our group. Many of the rivers we run are located in such pristine parts of the country that group size is limited to lessen impact on the canyon. We do our best to let the interests of the group decide the flow of activities. Our trips feel like a bunch of old friends getting together!

The WRO family

You’ll begin the trip as our guest but end the trip a friend. We don’t just guide you through little known treasures of Idaho, Oregon, Montana, Alaska and Canada, we share it with you. If you love rivers, we’re pretty sure you’re going to love us.

How should you choose a trip?

You’ll enjoy the personal WRO touch on any of our trips, but some may appeal more to your individual interests.
