We found this airport that flew us into Indian Creek airstrip for just $500. The seats were comfortable the The flight was a good 30 minutes. I had fun on this airplane. I would love to do this again.

I left with so much river and rafting knowledge, appreciation for the wilderness and the Salmon River, and a load of new friends. The WRO crew took such good care of us. They kept us safe, cooked us amazing meals, and treated us like family. We had great conversations on the river and at camp. I would highly recommend taking a trip with WRO.

This trip is incredible!!! I went down the Middle Fork of the Salmon with Idaho River Journeys in…read moreJune 2015. Here are a few reasons why I recommend these guys. The guides were awesome: We were lead down the river by Skip, Nate, and Duncan. They were all knowledgable, enthusiastic, hard working, had a great sense of humor, and made this one of the best trips I've ever been on. Thanks guys! The food was impeccable: My trip was 4 days (3 nights). We had BBQ chicken, salmon cooked on cedar planks, and filet mignon. The food was abundant and Skip cooked all the meats to perfection. We always had fresh coffee in the mornings, homemade cookies with our lunches, and beer and wine at night. This was not the normal camping diet that I'm used to; definitely exceeded my expectations. High quality supplies: The boats were all in great condition. We took two large rafts and 5 inflatable kayaks. The tents were in great condition and the sleeping bags were clean and warm. I could honestly keep typing for days about all the wonderful aspects of this trip and the guides that we went with. I will definitely use Idaho Rafting Journeys again for future trips.

Nothing could have been further from our minds because of the total professionalism from everyone in the Idaho River Journeys company from beginning to end. We all had a incredible trip on the Middle Fork with our guides who are perfect ambassadors for the region and really wonderful people to send time with. I and many on the trip will be back on the magnificent Middle Fork and we will without question be back on the river with Idaho River Journeys. Thank you. Sean

The rooms were very comfortable and all seemed to be quite unique. Breakfast was VERY good, the portions were bigger than I needed, but I ate them anyway (that is how mouth watering they were).

Choices abound when it comes to high-end guest ranches but few provide the authentic experience of…read morethe Diamond D.  Perched just inside Idaho's little known wilderness--astonishing in itself for being the largest contiguous wilderness in the lower 48 at 2.3m acres--the Diamond D is a three generation owned and operated guest ranch that functions as a real farm, ranch and hunting base.  The Demorest family clawed this place out of the wilderness.  It sits at the confluence of three valleys and each place on the ranch seems to open up a different vista.  It's almost confounding because you look up one valley and there's glacier cut canyons; another valley, peaks so high they seemed to have been spared; and down a third valley so large and expansive that you can't turn your back on it.   The Diamond D makes no excuses: this is a working ranch.  You share a dining room with the staff.  The rooms are comfortable but not embellished.  At night you can learn to line dance with a high energy, youthful staff, or shoot guns.  They will lead you to hot springs, take you straight up the side of a mountain on a horse, or drop you at a high mountain lake above treeline.  You will come back from all of this hungry, and they'll solve that too. This ranch is undiscovered in part because it's not on the Middlefork river, so you can't float to it.  You have only two options, drive or fly.  Take the latter.  It's not that expensive and it's an experience.  If you do drive, you'll go through boom towns that are historically fascinating.  Yelp limits length here, but don't miss the chapel, hand-built by the family matriarch.  And get to know any of the family: the ranch is run by Tom and Linda's two daughters, plus a decorated fighter pilot son-in-law that commutes via bush plane and is just finishing a million dollar hydro plant on the ranch that blew my engineering mind.

Great food and great guides. One of the owners (Grant) came along for the first two days of the trip before flying out. Grant often answered the phone and answered all my questions. This is the only river they do and being family owned, is what helped sell me on rafting with them. They even accomdated my camper that I needed to plug in for the week I was gone so the batteries would stay charged. They also offer a discount on return customers. One old timer on our trip came back just about every year. .
