MUSICAL RAFTING TRIP WITH ALICE
JULY 2, 2027
SEATS LIMITED: SECURE YOURS TODAY

Trip length: 5 days, 4 nights  * July 2, 2027 (July 1 Orientation) through July 6th, 2027

Trip Price: $2400.00 * Round trip Salmon to Salmon * 20% deposit to reserve

Trip Details:  The adventure begins in Salmon, Idaho on July 1, with an orientation meeting at the Stagecoach Inn the evening before the launch. The next morning (July 2nd), we travel by chartered bus 68 miles down the Salmon River to Corn Creek, where the road ends and the wilderness begins. The downriver portion of our trip ends mid-day on July 6th, when we rendezvous with our chartered jetboat for a thrilling ride back upstream to Corn Creek. High or low water conditions may necessitate adapting the trip beginning and/or ending point. If alternate transportation is required (such as a flight out from the river corridor), additional costs will be the responsibility of the participant.  This rare occurrence is highly unlikely in early July.

Trip price includes: Rafting and camping equipment, fees and taxes, meals, guide and camp services, round trip ground transportation from Salmon to Corn Creek, and jetboat transportation back upriver. It does not include additional pre or post trip transportation, pre or post trip meals and lodging, specialty beverages (liquor), or gratuities. Whitewater rafting is a service industry, and tips are a greatly appreciated way to thank your guides for exceptional care. If you choose to tip, 15 to 20 percent of trip retail price is a good guideline. It is also customary to tip the jetboat pilot.

Payments, Cancellations and Refunds: Reservations are secured with a 20% non-refundable deposit. Due to the limited space available on our Salmon River Adventures, all payments will be forfeited for cancellations made within 90 days of your launch. Prior to that time, cancellations will be assessed a 20% charge.  If YJRG cancels your trip due to "acts of god," including, but not limited to water, weather, fire, or other environmental conditions, no refunds will be issued.  YJRG strongly recommends the purchase of trip insurance.

Getting to Salmon

Option 1: Road Trip! Drive to Salmon in your private vehicle.

Option 2: Skip the Road Trip…Fly into Boise and travel via regional provider Gem Air from Boise to Salmon on July 1st. After our trip, return to Boise via Gem Air on July 7th. These in-state flights cost ~$550 per person round trip.

Option 3: THE HYBRID…A Flight, and a Road Trip! Rent a car and drive to Salmon after you fly into your choice of Boise (5 hour drive to Salmon), Sun Valley (4 hour drive to Salmon), Bozeman (4 hour drive to Salmon), Idaho Falls (2.5 hour drive to Salmon), or Missoula (2.5 hour drive to Salmon).

CAN I BRING MY OWN CRAFT? Sure, if you are an experienced Class III to IV boater. The return jetboat capacity is based on weight load. Most likely, personal rafts will exceed the weight limit, so folks bringing their own boats will need to plan for a shuttle, costing ~$500 plus fuel.

Beverages: Yellow Jacket River Guides provides all the fresh water you can drink, available at all times.  In the morning, coffee, tea, hot chocolate, and juice are served.  At lunch and in camp powdered drink mixes such as Gatorade and lemonade are available.  You are welcome to bring all of the additional beverages that you think you can drink.  Please bring beer in cans, rather than bottles. YJRG does not allow alcohol consumption during the day while rafting.

Fishing: Yellow Jacket River Guides does not offer guided fishing or provide fishing equipment, however you will find great opportunities for the avid angler.  If you plan to fish, you’ll need to purchase an Idaho fishing license, which you’ll be required to carry with you at any time that you are fishing. Your license can be purchased in advance through http://fishandgame.idaho.gov/cms/licenses/
