Guest Experiences

Just a brief note to let you know how much Leon and I enjoyed our river trips on the Hells Canyon of the Snake River and the Grande Ronde River last week. We both felt that the trips were superb – from the whitewater, to the weather, to the food, to the great company. We are looking forward to see you on the Salmon River Canyon in August.
