The Utah-Sun Valley Connection
What is it with Utahn's obsession with Ketchum and Sun Valley? Every summer I am amazed by the growing number of Utahns that flock to the Sun Valley and Stanley Area. It has become the must-do summer excursion for many Utes. Being from Utah myself, I think its great thing. In an effort to "keep it all in the family" I would like to offer my fellow Utahns a great deal on Sun Valley Family Rafting Trips. Let us know you are from Utah when making a reservation and receive a $10 per person discount.

Early June Fun
With rain in the early part of June this year, the Sawtooth Adventure Guides decided to make the most of the high water levels! This provided the guides the opportunity to take lines through the class IV rapids (which are for the most adventurous of our guests) that had all the other local companies coming out to witness! But don't worry, when rafting with customers taking a swim out of the boat is a rare occurrence.
For the remainder of the summer we offer a great 10 mile trip that includes numerous class II & III rapids that are fun for the entire family!
With the deep snow pack this winter and with plenty of precipitation earlier in the year, the river is running at a very fun level right now! Be sure to book your Stanley River Adventure, it will be the highlight of your Idaho Vacation!

Being in the travel and tourism industry I receive hundreds of travel deals a year. Some are better than others. This 50% off deal at Sun Valley Lodge is not only unheard of, but one of the best deals I have seen in years!
Hundreds of our summer rafting guests stay at the Sun Valley Lodge while exploring this amazing part of central Idaho. There can be only one original. And since 1936, Sun Valley has held that distinction. Born out of a desire to bring the magic of the European ski resorts to America, Sun Valley quickly became a phenomenon, without peer on this continent or any other. Sun Valley's nearly one million acres of wilderness promise long sunny days, bright starry nights and a resort experience that your family will cherish for generations.
Time is of the essence. The 50% off sale is for this weekend only. Hurry and book your vacation in paradise. Remember, now that you have saved hundreds of dollars on your accommodations, give us a call to book a very reasonably priced, fun and safe rafting trip on Idaho's Salmon River. Our 1-day trips start one (very scenic) hour north of Sun Valley, Idaho
An excellent snow pack in the Sawtooth Mountains guarantees a great rafting season . I look forward to seeing you and your family this summer in Stanley, Idaho.

Chinook Salmon return predicted for Idaho's Upper Salmon
Looks like a great year ahead for our endangered Chinook Salmon. These magical fish return from their epic journey each summer to the Sawtooth Valley. These massive fish have avoided commercial fishing in the Pacific on there way to Japan and back to the Columbia river. They laboriously travel upstream through 3 different rivers, over 600 miles and through 8 dams to spawn within meters of where they were born 4 years earlier. Simply amazing!
Join Sawtooth Adventure Company Aug 28-September 2nd and experience the educational and awe inspiring experience of floating the Salmon with these huge, magical fish. Stay tuned for additional Salmon facts throughout the summer season.
