6 Day Raft Trip on the Salmon River

In June we took a 6 day raft trip on the Main Salmon River. We launched at Corn Creek near Shoup ID, and rafted 85 miles across the state and took out at Vinegar Creek near Riggins. We had 13 friends, 5 rafts and 2 kayaks in our group.

The water level was high, we had several Class 4 rapids on the trip. One raft in our group flipped but everyone was all right. You can see Don and I got some air in this rapid.

We had reservations on some beaches for camping. One night we had no reservation and had a difficult time finding a beach that had enough space for our rafts.














This is a typical camp scene. We had a fully supplied kitchen with cookstove and grill and a "groover tent" (outhouse). Our tents were scattered around the beach.

It was an awesome trip with incredible scenic beauty!
