The majority of the trips are five nights and six days. Shortened trips are sometimes available. A Middle Fork of the Salmon River trip is a vacation in one of America's most spectacular playgrounds. They do not adhere to a rigid schedule, but vary our stops and activities according to the interests of the group. A typical river day begins with breakfast around 8:30 a.m., with coffee available earlier. The boats are loaded and you are on the river around 10:00 a.m. With frequent stops for lunch, hikes, scouting rapids, volleyball, fishing, etc. you'll reach the camp around 4:00 to 5:00 p.m. All of the campsites are assigned to us by the Forest Service on the day of our launch. Each site is your home for the evening, one that you don't share with other parties, except in emergency. Campsites are remarkably clean and litter-free. Forest Service pit toilets, or "carry out" tank toilets and privacy screens, are available in all river camps. Drinking water is available throughout the trip, and hand-washing systems are provided for meals and in camp. All fires are contained in a fire pan with the ashes carried out to the river's end to avoid fire scares.
