    What a great place!
    Robert M H.

    We were on a dirt bike trip through the BDR when one of our bikes broke down. We stopped into the hammer down for drinks and food (ordered food next door). They served us a round of drinks and were very helpful giving us info on what to do. These guys are great!!!

    Highly recommend this place ! Dillon, Jake and Bill made great guides and hosts. We had an…read moreabsolute blast doing the jet boat down the river. The rapids were so fun ! We saw mountain goats and 2 bald eagle. Loved the history of Sheep Canyon and Kirkwood Ranch. Lunch was so yummy and such a scenic view Give yourself plenty of time to get there as it is quite remote and does take awhile to make the drive. Definitely do this if you can !

    My husband and I just moved to Oregon, not quite a month ago. My best friend, Charity, came out…read morefrom Kansas City, and wanted to do something that she cant do back in Missouri. So, she was surfing the web and came across this. I am so glad she did! It took almost 3 hours to get there, but the scenery from Vale to the dam was well worth it. At first, I didn't want to spend that much money for a boat ride...but, I now think it is worth every penny and more! I had such a great time. Dusty was our guide (what do you call them? Are they Captains?) He was not only a great guide, he just seems like a great person. He was nice, polite, and did one hell of a job on the river! I have great memories with my bestie, and some really great pictures also. We didn't see any exciting animals, but that's ok. Still a great trip! I will go to Yellowstone for wild bears! :)

    What an unforgettable adventure of a lifetime! I just…read morereturned from an incredible 6-day, 5-night journey down Idaho's Main Salmon River with Mackay Wilderness River Trips. Our group of 16 adventurous women experienced the thrill of Class III and IV rapids while surrounded by some of the most breathtaking scenery I've ever seen. We were accompanied by five exceptional young men who were the epitome of true gentlemen. They took amazing care of us every step of the way--preparing five-star breakfasts, lunches, and dinners complete with appetizers and delicious desserts, setting up our tents, sharing fascinating history about the river, and, most importantly, keeping us safe on the water. Their professionalism, kindness, and hard work made the trip even more memorable. Each day brought incredible wildlife sightings, including bald eagles soaring overhead, ospreys, an otter, great blue herons, merganssers, and bighorn sheep. Evenings were spent relaxing around camp with great food, plenty of adult beverages, wonderful conversation, and sleeping under a sky full of stars. The rapids were exhilarating, the scenery was spectacular, the company was unforgettable, and the memories will last a lifetime. Thank you, Mackay Wilderness River Trips, for an experience I'll never forget. It truly was the adventure of a lifetime!

    My husband and I wanted a wedding where we could explore and adventure while giving our families…read moretime to connect away from the distraction of phones and email. My expectations for the weekend were blown out of the water (literally) in the first ten minutes on the jet boat ride. I don't think we stopped smiling for 3 days. I can't imagine a more beautiful setting for a wedding if rivers and mountains hold a piece of your heart. The staff was incredibly fun and accommodating. Dax is the cutest 6 year old host you'll ever meet and I felt almost no stress before the wedding because I knew Joni had everything under control. If you want a wild jet boat ride, jump on Bucks boat ;) Mackay Bar is truly a hidden gem in Idaho. All of my friends and family are texting me that we forever ruined their expectation of a wedding. Sunset horseback rides, fishing, hiking and phenomenal food. I am forever grateful for our wedding weekend and Mackay Bar and we are plotting to get back there as soon as possible.
