• The trip begins at 8:30 am or 12:30 pm MOUNTAIN STANDARD TIME at a shop located in downtown Riggins. After meeting at the shop, a five-minute drive will take the group to the put-in location where equipment for the trip will be provided, including personal flotation devices (PFDs) for all participants, and splash tops and helmets as needed. Following the equipment setup, the group will receive a comprehensive paddling orientation to ensure you have all the necessary information for a successful river day. After applying sunscreen, you will begin floating. The half-day journey commences with gentler whitewater, allowing everyone to acclimate before progressing to the larger rapids at Time Zone Bridge. Here, participants will get their first experience of the significant whitewater thrills ahead. Another major rapid is nearby, leading to a period for relaxation, floating, and swimming. Further down the river, the group will stop for a brief snack, some rock skipping, and possibly more swimming before returning to the boats to tackle the more formidable rapids ahead. After navigating various adrenaline-inducing rapids, the trip reaches the calm flats just before the takeout. This area provides an excellent opportunity to enter the river in your PFD, float alongside the canyon walls, splash the kids, and reflect on the enjoyable time spent on the Salmon River. As the group arrives at the takeout, the guides will efficiently pack up all equipment, and you will board the van for a 10-minute ride back to your vehicle, marking the end of the trip. • This concludes the floating segment of the journey. The group will board a van for the return to the shop.
