What's this trip about?

    Snake River Through Hells Canyon Rafting One of America's greatest rivers has played host to ROW Adventures' guest for over 25 years.  If you have not experience the great Snake River, it's big rapids, incredible hikes and history, the country's deepest river canyon with the world's greatest guides...you should not wait any longer! We know you have a lot of options when choosing a Snake River outfitter and we are happy you are considering us. Hells Canyon straddles the borders of Idaho and Oregon and is the deepest river gorge in North America. According to Nez Perce tribal legend, the mythical figure "coyote" dug Hells Canyon with a big stick to protect the tribe's ancestors in the Blue Mountains of Oregon from the "Seven Devils" across the gorge in Idaho. Our Snake River rafting adventures in Idaho are journeys through a land rich in myth and geologic wonder. Running south to north, this beauty in Hells Canyon cuts through some of the most rugged, spectacular landscape on earth. Boulders and rock slides have rolled into the river to create the biggest white water rafting rapids in the Pacific Northwest. High-crested waves and paddle-swallowing holes drench us in white water excitement.

Guides
On any river trip the guides are the most important factor for your safety, enjoyment and the success of the trip. ROW guides are exceptional people with years of river experience. We maintain a tobacco-free policy and most of our guides have taken interpretation courses from certified instructors. We look for guides who are willing and eager to share, teach, listen, learn, laugh, play, discuss and, above all, work hard to provide a safe, relaxed and spontaneous adventure. While in camp two or three guides are preparing dinner while the others are free to spend time with you. They might show you the way to a nearby hot spring, give a fly-fishing lesson or just to sit and visit with the group. Our guides are the main reason many of our guests return to ROW time and time again. (References gladly provided.) We staff our trips with one guide for every 3-4 guests providing you the ultimate in personal attention.
