The trip starts in
Salmon with an orientation meeting the evening before
the launch. In the morning, we drive down the Salmon
River to Corn Creek, where our rafting trip begins.
On most trips, we spend our third night at China
Bar Lodge, featuring hot showers, beds, and unbelievable
Ranch Style cooking . Mid-day on our fifth river day,
we'll reach our take-out at Carey Creek. A van will
pick us up for the two hour ride to McCall, where
most of our guests choose to stay the night before
beginning their travel home.
Our
August 11th, 19th, 27th, and September 4th launches
feature a stay at Shepp Ranch on night 4. Morning
5 you will fly on a chartered flight to your choice
of Salmon, McCall, or Boise.

a good guideline.
