We had such a ball with Mackay River Guides last year we are now putting a hook out there to see how many of you would be interested in a group rated trip sometime this summer to float the beautiful Salmon River (the Main river). The quote I recieved from the woman organizing the trips was $ 950.00 -1000 dollars. This is actually a steal because these trips are retail valued at least $ 2100.00 2300.00 a person!
So…it’s over half off. Getting to Salmon by way of little plane is extra and there are also busses that can take us too. The 950 includes the river trip and hotel the night before in salmon, not the shuttle to and from Boise, but the shuttle from the actual river to civilization once again. I think the private plane is around 300.00 for both arriving and departing back to Boise. Still a steal cause the plane ride is spectacular!!! You fly right over the Sawtooths, it’s incredible, the whole journey.
Also…a bit about the trip. They totally spoil you for a week. If you just want to sit on a boat and watch the beautiful untouched scenery float by or if you want to “get you feet wet” in your own private kyak, or if you want to paddle with the group, the choice is yours. And you can switch on and off during the day…you aren’t stuck in one mode of travel.
This is some of the most spectacular untouched land scape cutting through the Frank Church wildness area. There are some amazing beaches and these guides really know their stuff. You are in safe hands with them…plus, did I mention? They are FABULOUS cooks! My God! And you will be provided the best entertainment we deliver, unplugged of coarse. I’m not overly certain of the class rapids but it was enough to give us a rush without feeling like we were going die. Ha! A challenge but not an over threatening feeling. Very exciting. If you like to fish there you can, right off the boat. There are some cool hikes you can take or just kick on the beach and drink some beer…or cool-aid, whichever you prefer. You get appetizers every night, there’s happy hour. They set up your tents for you…it’s really “roughing it” let me tell you!
So…if you are certain you want to do this please respond to niccoleblaze@hotmail.com and let me know you’d like to go. Let me know if you are interested in the plane ride to or would you rather a shuttle. Also, if there are certain dates you can’t go let us know. It will be sometime this summer but we have to reserve soon to hold the date and assure the trip. Please tell those you feel are interested, right away!
So…if you know you want to go for certain…please respond and we’ll get the ball rolling on this. As far as the Cruises go. I’m delaying on this until I fully understand how this would work. Until I know more absolutes I’m going to let it go for a while. ”Everything that goes will come back again”…some songwriter said that…hmmm??? ha ha!
So….check on the blog in the next few days and I’ll try to post some pics. of last years river trip! It is truly a trip of a life time!!!
Much love to you all! Hope to see you soon!
Niccole & Mo
