3.The Middle Fork of the Salmon, Idaho
Designated in 1968, the 104-mile Middle Fork of the Salmon includes incredibly exciting rapids, and thus the trip from Boundary Creek to Cache Bar a very popular choice. Required permits are during the May 23rd to September 3rd lottery window. Our sources suggest aiming for late summer.
There are significantly fewer crowds and the trout are reportedly getting ready for winter. Veteran visitors say the best part of this adventure is you can enjoy hot springs at camp every night.
4.The John Day River, Oregon
The 147.5-mile was designated in 1988. On this 70-mile river-trip from Clarno to Cottonwood Bridge, you’ll float through black, volcanic basalt gorges and colorful, ash deposits filled with fossils. As you approach mile five you will hit some Class III and !V rapids. However, the lower section is exceptionally leisurely.
Enjoy the views as you drift through the 1,200-foot-deep canyons and watch for golden eagles, river otters, mule deer, and red-tailed hawks. For the best experience, schedule your trip between April and June.
