Idaho Rafting Trip FAQs
Is this trip right for me?
YES! If you enjoy the serenity and excitement of backpacking combined with the comforts of home, this is the trip for you. No prior experience needed. Our guides take care of you better than your mother. . .well almost better.
What about bathroom facilities?
Middle Fork Adventures practices “Leave No Trace” camping and “Pack in/Pack out” applies to everything - no need to dig any holes. At lunch and at camp each day, our guides will set up portable toilet facilities, lovingly referred to as “Groovers.” (Ask your guide about the namesake if you’re interested.) The groovers will be set up in a private location, with the best possible view of the canyon. At each groover there will be toilet paper, a hand-wash station, and a trash can for feminine products.
What is there to do at camp?
Well there are no TVs, no WIFI, or no cell phones, so truly the options are limitless. You get to do what your heart truly desires the Middle Fork of the Salmon offers world class fishing, hiking, and scenery. This means you can hang out at camp while our guides prepare fresh appetizers. Hike up side creeks. Soak in hot springs. Play horseshoes, bocce ball, or other camp games. Attend short talks by the guides on history, ecology, geology, etc. Get to know your fellow travelers around a campfire. Star gaze. Practice your guitar skills.
What gear should I bring, how should I dress?
The weather largely dictates how you dress, and your guides can help you with daily clothing selection based on the weather and the day’s activities. Most of the summer is warm and dry, so lightweight synthetic clothes that dry quickly are a favorite among guides. It does rain in the Frank Church Wilderness and it can get chilly at night and during early and late season trips, so we do recommend that you bring wool and fleece layers as well. Please see our packing list for more detail, and always feel free to call us for specific advice!
What about my car, and other personal belongings not on the river?
If your trip starts in Stanley and you are driving, you'll want to get it shuttled to Salmon during the trip. Your car is the best place for personal belongings not coming on the river. We are happy to store items in our boat house during the trip- just give us a call!
How do you keep clean?
On a Middle Fork Adventures trip you will quickly find that river camping is a far cry from “roughing-it”. We always have two hand-wash stations set up in camp to wash our hands - one near the groover and one near the kitchen. We have great strategies for bathing which your trip leader will discuss with you before the trip.
What if there is an emergency on the river?
In the event of a medical emergency, you can take comfort in knowing that all of our guides are trained in first aid and have many years of wilderness training- some are even EMTs or Wilderness First Responders. The guides will assess the specific situation and determine the best course of action, whether that is to treat and monitor or evacuate. Evacuation costs will be borne by the individual.
Do I need to bring a tent?
No, Middle Fork Adventures provides tents as well as your cot, sleeping pad, sleeping bag, and pillow. We strive to have all tents set up before you get to camp so you have a place to change and relax at the end of the day. Our tents are 6-person tents, however we assign only two guests to each tent, which means you’ll have plenty of room and will be able to stand all the way up. Cots also make sleeping more comfortable and easier to sit up in the morning. While some companies charge extra for “deluxe” sleeping accommodation, this comes standard at Middle Fork Adventures as part of our Full Service Trip!
What about my dietary concerns or restrictions?
We are more than happy to make accommodations for any food allergy, sensitivity, or dietary restriction. Please communicate any concerns or questions you might have to us prior to your trip launching.
Is there a weight limit for our drybags?
Because of space and weight limitations on our rafts, we ask that you please limit your personal gear to 30 pounds. If this proves difficult, or causes hardship, please give us a call and we can talk with you about your gear selection and other options.

Thank you guides David, Ethan, Maggie, Daniel, Trevor, Josh & Ryan. You did a great job keeping us safe, well fed & having a great time! I highly recommend using Middle Fork Adventures."

"If you are considering taking this trip...DO IT and DO IT with Middle Fork Adventures. They will treat you like family and you will have the time of your lives. Even waking up at 6:30 am is ok when Daniel is softly signing his coffee song to rouse you! This was definitely a top vacation for our family we will never ever forget. It was sad to have it end which is a sign of a great trip I guess! Thank you Middle Fork Adventures for helping us make lifelong memories!"
- Marcy B.
