What could make a prime-time Middle Fork of the Salmon trip even better? We were hard-pressed to think of a single thing, until Eilen Jewell agreed to join us next summer, 2024. We are beyond excited to welcome this Idaho-born singer song writer for nightly campfire serenades. Eilen has yet to explore this part of her back yard, and invites you to join her in an adventure of a lifetime!

There is something truly magical about music on the river. As many of you know, the river is inspirational and its very essence can easily spark any dim light inside of one’s self. Music and the river have an innate relationship with one-another, and when you have the opportunity to indulge in this marriage, it is absolutely an experience of bliss.

In this context, any campfire singer is elevated to the status of a rockstar, drawing people closer together and warming souls. Now, throw a real rockstar into the mix and what we have is a river trip made for pure perfection. This is a one-of-a-kind experience that is sure to knock anyone’s socks into the sand, so call up your best friend, surprise your parter with the Christmas gift from utopia, or whatever you have to do to seize the day on this rare and sweet Middle Fork trip of a lifetime- we can’t wait to share this time with you!
