Book Now Overview The One and Only Middle Fork of the Salmon The Middle Fork of the Salmon River in Idaho is one of the most iconic wilderness river adventures in the United States — and often considered one of the best multi-day rafting trips in the world. Trips begin in the remote mountain towns of Stanley Idaho (May-July) or Salmon Idaho (August – September), from there we make our way into the heart of the Frank Church Wilderness–the largest roadless wilderness area in the lower 48. Rafting the Middle Fork of the Salmon is all river — no cell signal, no cars, just the sound of whitewater, canyon walls, and wilderness. The Middle Fork flows free and clear, dropping over 3,000 feet in elevation as it carves its way through rugged granite canyons. The water starts fast and cold, especially during early-season snowmelt, with Class III–IV rapids like Velvet Falls, Pistol Creek, and Tappan Falls offering excitement and technical runs. Between rapids, the river mellows, and you’re surrounded by dramatic scenery: towering cliffs, pine-covered slopes, and open alpine meadows. Campsites are pristine and riverside, offering quiet star-filled nights and the smell of woodsmoke and pine. We also offer trips on the main salmon river as well as middle-main combo trips for those not wanting to choose just one section of this legendary river — giving you the chance to experience even more miles of pristine water, remote camps, and unforgettable Idaho wilderness.

Our large group spanned 3 generations and nearly 20 people -- but they were up to the task. Stunning scenery, thrilling rapids, and amazing food were part of every day. The logistics of such a large group spending six days in the wilderness must be daunting, but Arta has it down to a science. The middle fork of the Salmon -- I cannot recommend it it enough!" Evan Remley Middle Fork of the Salmon River "We just got off the Middle Fork of the Salmon River with ARTA. What a great experience for our family!! Our guides, Emma, Mia, Casey, Scottie, Hunter, Mattie J and Matt were professional, experienced, safety focused, educational and fun!! The food and service were excellent. It was clear that the company and our guides are deeply committed to the places and rivers they run. The Middle Fork is a beautiful river in stunning country. Be sure and see the Sheep Tree! We highly recommend ARTA and can’t wait to return." Brent Box Middle Fork of the Salmon River "My husband and I recently returned from an ARTA trip on the Middle Fork. We were with two children and five grandchildren. The trip was a 50th wedding anniversary present from our children. We had a wonderful time. It was perfectly organized. The guides were knowledgeable about the history, flora, fauna and geology of the area. They were aware of us at all times; life jackets buckled, helmets on properly, swimming safely. Their skill in navigating the river and rapids was extraordinary. I never felt a moment of fear. On top of all this, they were great cooks, always cheerful and entertaining. Their perfect organization was almost unbelievable. I will always recommend ARTA to anyone. Thanks for a marvelous experience. I obviously can’t stop talking about it!" Juliet Guerlin Middle Fork of the Salmon River "Ahh, you know. You have the right philosophy. It’s about the river and the big country and the big silence and the canyon cathedral and nature and salmon and mysteries and all that stuff." Fred Hund Middle Fork of the Salmon River "ARTA makes us feel like part of the family… Every river, every trip. You guys are an awesome organization."

They are rowed by a guide using oars attached to a metal frame. Guests ride in the front, hang on through the rapids and relax in the calm stretches. Paddle rafts Paddle rafts are 14 feet long and carry 6 paddlers who actively paddle through the rapids and down the river. Everyone has a paddle, sits on the outer tube of the raft and follows the commands of the paddle guide who sits in the rear. Inflatable kayaks Inflatable kayaks are 10 – 12 feet long and are paddled by 1 or 2 people using double-bladed paddles. They are fairly stable, require no previous experience and allow you to feel the thrill of independently paddling the river. Custom Fishing Rafts Custom designed to fish your hearts out, fishing rafts are 14′ long, light and nimble with two anglers in the boat and travel at a slower pace, often behind the rest of the group. For those wanting to maximize their fishing experience please inquire about adding fishing rafts to your trip. Sweep Boat Our custom designed Sweep Boat is over 20′ long, captained by one to two guides, with no passengers. These amazing crafts are specific to the Middle Fork, they carry the lions share of the overnight gear and travel with the river, ahead of the group each day to set up camp before everyone arrives. The Sweep helps our passenger rafts stay light and nimble, and allows us to make the most out of each day knowing when the group arrives to camp each day the bulk of the heavy lifting has been taken care of and folks can relax and further enjoy what camp life has to offer. Camping Overnight camping will be done at riverside beaches with spectacular views of the river and canyon. Guides will set up a full kitchen, dining area, drink and appetizer zone, and our ‘living room’ with chairs set up for each guest, a library of books and camp games. Guests will have the freedom to explore and pick out their own unique spot to set up their tents away from the central area, and guides are available to help. Our toilet facilities, and a hand-wash station will be set up in an isolated (and usually beautiful) location; going to the bathroom in the wilderness is surprisingly pleasant, keep in mind we set up the toilet facilities away from camp, a short walk to the toilet, often on uneven ground is part of the deal. Weather The weather in the mountains of Idaho is difficult to predict; we have encountered hailstorms in August and heatwaves in June, so please read the equipment list and come well prepared for a variety of conditions. The weather in the Middle Fork of the Salmon canyon is usually mild and temperate, however rain, in the form of afternoon thunderstorms, can be encountered at any time during the season. We strongly recommend good rain protection for both day and night. Generally, summer temperatures range from the 70’s to the 90’s during the day and the 40’s to the 50’s at night, with early season trips being 10 degrees cooler and summertime extremes being 10 degrees warmer. The water temperature is a chilly 50 degrees in June, warming to a pleasant 70 degrees late in the summer. Wildlife We will be traveling through the heart of the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness and visiting the home of a variety of wild animals. On the Middle Fork Salmon it is common to see otters, deer, and bighorn sheep as well as osprey, eagles, and other birds of prey. Meals and Drinks ARTA meals are AMAZING! Guests are often shocked at how wonderful our meals are in a back-country setting. We bring the highest quality ice chests to keep meats, fruits and veggies fresh for the duration of the trip. Meals are designed for foodies (adults) and the occasional picky eater (kids!) alike. Guests can expect to start each day with fresh coffee and well-balanced breakfast, snacks are available throughout the day in the rafts, lunch is prepared riverside with many options, and appetizers are served to kick off the dinner hour early-evening with our main courses and desert to wrap up each day. We are happy to accommodate special dietary request/requirements. Please let us know in your pre-trip registration. We provide water, sports drink powder during the day, and hot coffee, tea, and cocoa in the morning. If you would like soda, beer, wine, or liquor at camp, please bring your own and we will have coolers/ice for you! Please bring beer/soda in cans, we can accommodate wine and liquor in glass bottles. Please bring what you plan to consume. Fishing The fishing along the Middle Fork is excellent, with an abundance of 12 – 16 inch cutthroat trout. This is a “catch and release” river, so only single, barbless hooks are allowed, and all fish must be released alive. Fishing is better after the water level drops in mid-July. Poles should be protected in sturdy cases and only a small amount of tackle is needed. Dry flies, (Caddis, Grasshoppers and Irresistibles), and small spinners, (Mepps, Panther Martins) work well. You do not need waders or nets. If you want to fish you must have a valid Idaho State Fishing License. Fishing gear, licenses, and good advice are available from the Stanley Fly Shop in Stanley, 208-721-7151, which is open 7 days a week. Local Attractions Within a day’s drive of Stanley are Glacier, Yellowstone, and Grand Teton National Parks, as well as Sun Valley resort and numerous western guest ranches. Suggested Reading River of No Return by Cort Conley gives a detailed, mile-by-mile description of the history of the river and canyon. The Last of the Mountain Men by Harold Peterson, Thousand Pieces of Gold by Ruthanne McCunn and Merciless Eden by Doug Tims are stories of some of the Main’s more colorful characters and places. Idaho’s Salmon River is a great map and guide and is available through Black Canyon Guides.

Trip cancellation, evacuation, baggage loss and other coverages are available for between 8% and 15% of your trip cost.

Tips can be given to the Lead Guide who will share them with the entire crew. Alternative Ending (For trips from May – July) After your Middle Fork Salmon adventure, you will load onto a bus for a drive back to Stanley ID. This bus will pass through Salmon ID on its route to get you back where you began. Consider disembarking the bus in Salmon and saving yourself some time.

Upon your arrival we will provide you and your group members with your waterproof dry-bags and instruction on how to pack. You won't have to worry about traveling with big bulky items: high quality tents and big thick cozy sleeping pads are provided. There are, however, a handful of recommended personal items that will make your trip more enjoyable, the underlying list is our recommendations. Packing List How to Dress Where to buy Packing List This list has everything we can think of for trips from May through September; you can adjust it to fit your departure date (more cold weather clothing early in the season). Camp Items These will be packed in your camp dry bag and will be available at camp. Your favorite pillow Sleeping Bag (Freshly laundered sleeping bags can be rented from ARTA) Two changes of clothing (versatile pants and shirts, cotton is fine – something exciting for dinner is welcome!)

Something you can walk and hike in comfortably (ultra-lite boots or trail-running shoes; our guides wear flip-flops in camp) Sarong or small towel Personal hygiene items, including medicine, insect repellent, soap/shampoo, dry-skin lotion, etc. Please bring double the amount needed of any essential medicine. Warm jacket, (thick fleece is great – will work on-river as well – or compact/down coat). Rain gear, (can double as on-river gear); top is essential, bottoms are advised if you get cold easily. Small flashlight with extra batteries, (headlamps are great). Book, sketch pad, journal, etc. Equipment We Provide These items will be provided for you so you don’t have to travel with them. 3" thick "Paco Pad" style sleeping pad Two-person tent **Must be requested** Camp chair Plate and eating utensils Mug Waterproof splash jacket Neoprene wetsuit (if necessary) Personal Flotation Device (PFD) Drybags River Items These will be worn, or packed in your personal dry-bag and will be accessible during the day. Sandals with heel strap (Chaco, Teva, Astral, etc.) or old running shoes. Swimsuit or shorts. Nylon quick-drying shorts are best – women often prefer to wear shorts over their swimsuits. Lightweight cotton or dry-tech style synthetic shirt or T-shirt. Long-sleeved if you want extra sun protection, sun hoodies are great. If you get cold easily, a lightweight fleece top is handy. Brimmed hat (baseball style or visor work best under helmet for inflatable kayakers – and a spare is a good idea). Sunglasses with strap. Waterproof sunscreen/block (SPF 30), lip balm. Polypropylene or fleece top (essential). Waterproof rainshell (essential) and rain pants (optional). Rental Items Freshly laundered sleeping bags are available to rent from ARTA. Reserve and pay for it in advance using your pre-trip online registration. Pro Tip Fleece and Polypro are generic terms for a spun, polyester fabric developed for outdoor use. It comes in various weights and does not absorb water, making it ideal insulation on a river trip. Layering various weights of polypro is a great way to stay warm even when wet. It seems that children always get cold more easily, (and wet more often), than adults, so parents will want to make sure that their kids have at least two fleece tops and a waterproof rainshell. Fleece pants are also recommended. Drinks If you would like soda, beer, wine, or liquor at camp, please bring your own and we will have coolers & ice for you! Please bring beer/soda in cans. We can accommodate wine and liquor in glass bottles. Please bring what you plan to consume. How to Dress On hot days On hot days you will want clothing that dries quickly (nylon shorts and bathing suits) and something to shield you from the sun, (a high-tech SPF long-sleeved shirt or sun hoodie). Also, a brimmed hat and a bandana are helpful for staying cool. On cool days On cool days you will want a thick, synthetic fleece top, and a sturdy, fully waterproof rainshell. You may also want fleece pants or polypropylene long underwear bottoms and rainpants, particularly before mid-June. Don’t bring a cotton sweatshirt; cotton is worthless when wet and won’t work for on-river insulation. On your feet On your feet you will want shoes that stay on if you go for a swim and are comfortable for hiking. Sport sandals with heel straps (Tevas, Chacos etc.) work well. Running shoes are also fine, Astrals (athletic shoes with grippy rubber for walking on wet rocks) are a guide favorite. In camp In camp you will want comfortable walking/hiking shoes, (flip flops, lightweight tennis shoes), and versatile clothing, (T-shirts, warm shirts, cotton shorts, jeans or sweats, extra fleece, etc). Cotton is fine for camp when dry.
