    Can't say enough about the Canyons River Company. We just booked our 3rd trip with them. If you are looking for a thoughtful, professional, helpful, fun-loving, experienced, family-friendly, safe, and high-integrity outfitter for your next trip then look no further. Every aspect of our first 2 trips down the Main Salmon River with them were outstanding, especially the guides (and the FOOD!). Looking forward to many more trips down the river with Canyons.

    We paddled duckies the whole way down, which I wholeheartedly recommend!

    Make sure you have water, food and dress warm with under layers. We had a great time despite snow…read morelevels being below normal. Lunch was great and the hot springs were amazing. So..... our first attempt was horrible. It was 9 degrees that day and we rented 3 snowmobiles for a family of 5. My oldest is 20 so he had his own and we were about 45 min into our day when the machine started sending alarms and overheating. We tried packing it w ice and letting rest and tried to head back which ended taking about two plus hours . After 40 min and going only 1/4 mile we decided I would head back and get help . By now the snowmobile was smoking . I head in and they told me that there are no extra machine and started to walk away . There is no cell service at all on the whole route and even at the lot you start at . I'm like hey !' It's 9 degrees and they are stuck what are you going to do ?! I wanted to leave the machine and have 3 people on one machine and slowly head back but my husband was worried that they charge us for it . One of the two guys said he was heading out with a group and would stop for a minute and see if it's a quick fix or coolant. I asked if he could give me the coolant and he said there was only one . He had group of 3 people and they were newbies. Did I tell you one of my 14 yr old twins refused to wear his long johns even though we told him it was essential for 9 degrees. We starts heading out and his machine started smoking. He couldn't go any further. So I found rest of my family and they had to ditch the machine by the payette park sign . Once we were warm and in town I called . They were aware of situation and gave us all our money back no argument, they just apologized that made me respect them . It took us hours to get back . We started at 9 and it was noon before the family was back together at the lot. I was surprised when my family asked if we could try again so i called back and they hooked us up and gave a small discount and they also spoke to Burgdorf and got our money back and was able to reschedule our hot springs even though there were no appointments available. Yes I recommend this company because we had amazing time the second time and when things went bad they stepped up and did the right thing .

    I was able to setup a reservation with CMBR for a large group…read more This was for 15 sleds (snowmobiles) in early March. I did most of the coordinating through email, which was easy and hassle free. Upon arriving at the rental shop, we got some gear, if needed, and signed waivers. The gals working the shop were friendly, mellow, and had plenty of jokes! We drove ourselves to the trailhead (Francis Wallace parking lot). The parking area was a bit slushy, but we managed with two minivans - and some knowhow. Upon arriving at the lot, a tech went through a brief orientation on how to operate the sleds. You are able to sled right out of the parking lot and onto the trails. The trails go on what would be forest roads in the summer season. There are some stops to make along the way with great views and a snowed-in restaurant worth a quick drink. After a few hours on the trails, we returned to the lot where the techs collected the sleds. Afterwards, you do have to drive the helmets and gear back to the rental shop in town, but easy enough. I highly recommend CMBR for the courteous, laid-back service!

    Hands down, 11 out of 10, one of the most fantastic white water experiences we've ever had. I've…read morebeen white water rafting for nearly 30 years with a variety of different rafting companies, however, this was my first experience white water kayaking and it was next level. Not only was the scenery some of the most spectacular we've ever seen, but the level of service, professionalism, knowledge and attentiveness were truly second to none. When they talk about the shadow effect in businesses, it's clear that someone as wonderful as Jaclyn is at the helm. Her care, attention to detail, responsiveness and all around loveliness spreads out to her amazing team and allows them to show up as their fullest selves and truly live into their superpowers. The guides Sebastian, Emmy and Jack were so wonderful and as a result of Sebastian's guidance, and my son's and Emmy's encouragement;), I was able to kayak my first class 4 rapid (something which gave me endless mom points with my son:)) and live to tell the story;-). For anyone looking for a top notch operation and an extraordinary adventure, you need to look no further...

    We highly recommend the jet boat tour up the Salmon river…read more Our capitan was highly knowledgeable, and quite skilled behind the controls, in addition to sharing lots of history and information about the flora and fauna. The canyon is stunning! This is a must do experience!
