The beautiful high desert plateau comes alive in early spring with delicate desert wildflowers and a wide array of whistling songbirds, birds of prey, bighorn sheep, mountain lions, baby goslings and coyote. There are great hiking and exploring opportunities along the way. Visit a natural arch, hike up to the canyon rim for a breathtaking vista, or lie down by the waters edge and watch the falcons and swifts fly overhead. As we pass the confluence of the West fork of the Bruneau, we enter the narrow, red-walled gorge. Stunning side canyons provide perfect afternoon outings and each evening we will enjoy delicious dutch oven dinners around a campfire and relive the day’s adventures! Five Mile Rapid is the grand finale of the trip.
“WHOA. The whole trip was spectacular. From the scenery to the Whitewater, friends and making new friends with the crew. And the food was crazy good. The trip was intense, awesome and a trip of a lifetime. I loved to see how the crew was so cohesive and worked so famously well together. There was true respect and experience among them all that was wonderful. Real poetry in motion. A real “blow your dress up”/ wow experience. Just do it!!! Thanks to all.” ~Ruby Swanson 2019
