(for pdf version click here)
SRC's River Trip Map
Your Salmon River adventure begins at 9:00 a.m. (afternoon half-day
trips at 12:30 p.m.) Mountain Time
from The Riggins City Park upper asphalt parking area. Our
shop/home is located off hwy 95, milepost marker 197. From Riggins
we are on the left (or west side of the highway. From
Lewiston/Grangeville, we are the first right-hand turn after crossing
the Timezone Bridge. Our location is approximately 2 ½ hours north of
Boise and 2 hours south of Lewiston. After turning onto Timezone Road,
just look for the SRC vans/busses/office/rafts/guides/etc.
Your trip contains some of the best whitewater on the entire Salmon
River—many Class III rapids as well as one or two Class IVs depending
on the water flows. We’ll navigate through rapids with names like Ruby
Rapids, Lake Creek, Time Zone, Tight Squeeze, Chair Creek, Trap Creek,
and Fiddle Creek Rapids, to name only a few.
Salmon River Challenge
provides all of the equipment and whitewater gear you will need,
including wetsuits and splash jackets during early summer or cooler
days in mid-summer. The Half-Day trips include wonderful snacks
featuring fresh fruit and veggie trays, meat and cheese platters, and
wonderful, homemade desserts. During the Day-Trip we will stop
for a delicious lunch of fresh deli sandwiches, salads, fruit, veggies and dip, chips, and our famous homemade
Desserts. Our lunch stop is on a white-sand beach amidst the
magnificent Salmon River scenery.
We
will arrive back at the park between 4:00 and 5:00 p.m. If you are
interested in overnight accommodations, we can recommend a variety of
premium hotels, lodges, of motels…just call or e-mail or view the
accommodation link.
Your level of participation in your whitewater trip can be customized.
The least participative and most relaxing option is an oar boat in
which the guide does nearly all the rowing. Our most progressive and
active option is our paddle boat in which the guide acts as a guide
and tiller-man and the guests do all the paddling. An in-between
option is our paddle-assist boat, which allows for the guests to both
paddle through the rapids and relax in tour quiet pools. Finally, for
those adventurous souls, we also can provide inflatable kayaks so you
can take on our rapids solo or with a buddy! Please let us know about
any special medical, physical or dietary needs you may have.
REMEMBER—WE RUN ON
MOUNTAIN
