Rafting on whitewater is a blast, no pun intended. This leads us to the Idaho river of no return, which is a great challenge.
River of No Return Rafting
Idaho is a very beautiful state that doesn't have any big cities or the sprawling cities that come with them. It is a state in the Rock Mountains that shares a border with Canada. Part of Yellowstone National Park is in Wyoming. With so much unspoiled nature, there are many places to go rafting and all kinds of rapids to experience.
The Salmon River runs through the middle of Idaho. It is called "The River of No Return." If that doesn't make you want to go white-water rafting, nothing will.
The Salmon is 425 miles long and drains more than 14,000 square miles of land. From where it starts to where it joins the Snake River, the river drops a huge 7,000 feet. With that kind of drop in elevation, you know the rafting will be good.
The middle fork of the Salmon River is where the best place to raft is. In the Frank Church River of No Return wilderness area, a 100-mile stretch is the best spot. This part goes through North America's second-deepest canyon. It's a beautiful sight to see and an exciting adventure.
The middle fork is a great place to go rafting because it is narrow, drops in elevation, and has a lot of obstacles. Rapids in this range give you a rush of adrenaline without putting you in a lot of danger. The middle fork can be used for one- or two-day trips, and there are a lot of rafting companies to choose from. Kayaking is also a great activity, but you need to be good at rolling.
Trying to cross the River of No Return is a lot of fun that you will remember for a long time. Keep in mind that it is a popular place that more than 10,000 people visit every year. Enjoy!
