Big Water Rafting in Stanley, Idaho



SAC guides put our new HD raft cam to the test during a big water session in Shotgun and The Damn. New this summer . . . rafters can capture their entire adventure in full HD. Ask us about this great new option to record your day on the Salmon River.

Sawtooth Adventure Company Middle Fork and Main Salmon Combo

180 miles through the heart of America's largest wilderness area. 21 rafters and 7 boats in 7 days. An epic private trip down the Middle Fork began with 8 inches of snow but quickly changed to sunny days. Turning the corner onto the Main Salmon River of No Return we began our annual Sawtooth Adventure Company training trip. Swift water rescue, first aid, and various river skills all played a crucial part of the SAC guides cohesiveness. With an amazing amount of rainfall in a matter of three days the river quickly rose which made for a big water rafting experience. High water, dutch oven style meals, a great crew and beautiful scenery proved another extraordinary river trip. Check out our photos!

spring in stanley idaho

I took my annual spring trip to Stanley to check out how the SAC headquarters weathered another winter in the Sawtooths. Its a beautiful time of year. I love catching up with my Stanley friends. I think my visit confirms winters over...... summers on the way.

Thanks to my good friends at the Sawtooth Hotel for the great hospitality. Check out the Hotel this summer for a great, new spot to mingle, dine and drink in Stanley

Its official, Disneyland is no longer my daughter's number #1. After a fun-filled week in the happiest place on earth my daughter proclaimed that the Tower of Terror was awesome, but not as fun as a 5-day river trip. Makes a daddy proud!

SAC Training Trip: Bruneau River Idaho

Each May the SAC crew kicks the river season off with the annual "Training Trip". It is a great opportunity to explore new rivers, learn tons and have some big water fun. It is also an essential team-building adventure for the new guide crew. This year we will take on the 165 miles of the Middle Fork and Main Salmon, otherwise known as "turning the corner". This 7-day high water trip will be the perfect training grounds........
