The Ultimate Western Experience

Paddle N’ Saddle

For those who are looking for the most powerful Whitewater in the Northwest combined with the deepest gorge in North America, The Snake river in Hells Canyon (rated class IV) offers 32 or 80 miles of the most enjoyable wilderness river experience available. Rapids such as Wild Sheep, Granite Creek and Waterspout linked with stretches of smooth flowing water will satisfy even the most avid Whitewater junkie. The Snake River in Hells Canyon offers the historian many interesting pictograph sites to explore and photograph. For families, first time floaters, or experienced rafters, the Lower Salmon River offers a 71mile-wilderness experience. The river flows through four spectacularly colorful canyons. It is the longest free flowing river in the lower 48 states and is rated as a class III river. Along the river are white sandy camping beaches where river runners shed their life jackets for swimming and playing in the beautiful, clear, river pools.  Some of the rapids you will experience are Half and Half, Bodacious Bounce and Zig Zag.Experience one of Idaho’s best-known and most popular Whitewater rafting adventures, the Main Salmon River “The River of No Return”. This trip is an ultimate family vacation, but also offers exciting and exhilarating rapids for the thrill seekers. You will enjoy the ride on rapids such as Salmon Falls, Big Mallard and Growler. The many white sandy beaches and heavily forested canyons captivate you while searching for wildlife as you navigate the 80 miles of the Main Salmon bordering the Frank Church Wilderness area.   After your exhilarating days on the river of your choice you will enjoy a luxurious night at the Whitebird Summit Lodge. After dinner you can relax in the hot tub or the steam room, grab a book and enjoy the view from on top  Whitebird Hill.  Now its time to see what the world looks like from on top of those ridges you have been admiring from the river. You will have the choice of staying at Whitebird Summit Lodge and enjoy the views of the Camas Prairie, the Seven Devils and Whitebird Canyon.  We have many activities for the family at the lodge ranging from trail riding, hiking, mountain bike, fishing three rivers all near by. Or you can choose to be somewhat adventuresome and spend a few nights at the Historic Gilmore Ranch. No roads, no TV, no phone! Here you will experience life as it was in the early 1900’s, when the Gilmore Brothers homesteaded this area. Sit back and relax around the campfire and enjoy the view of  Gospel Hump. You will still see snow on the peaks in late July. On 47 square mile of land, trail riding is endless. Your chance to see an abundance of wildlife on your trip including deer, elk, and even an occasional Moose, Mountain Goat and Bald Eagles! Sleeping in a ranch house that was built in the early 1900’s with private sleeping accommodations, sitting area and full kitchen.  This is truly a once in a lifetime trip that cannot be matched and will provide you with memories that you'll never forget! Come enjoy the beauty of this rugged breathtaking land soon!!  Call Terri Today   866-562-5398  or Email her terri@lockeyu.com
