The Armacost Family has been running the best Hells Canyon river trips for over 31 years. Our unparalleled service, attention to detail, high end equipment and veteran guides make us the leaders.  Every turn of the river has a story, which we are happy to tell making your trip more meaningful and memorable.  Our river guides are friendly, and fun not to mention professional in every aspect of their work. They lead you to many sights in Hells Canyon, taking you to see ancient rock art and old homesteader cabins, lead amazing hikes, and help you catch the “big one.”

The Main Salmon River boasts the longest remaining free flowing river system in the lower 48 states. An Ideal Family Vacation, the “Lower Salmon” offers huge white sand beaches, perfect for throwing the Frisbee, beach volleyball, a paddle boat water slide, or just lounging in the shade. The rapids are exciting yet family friendly, and the warm crystal clear water is perfect for swimming. Jump off the raft and float through a calm section or try your hand at an inflatable kayak. Double kayaks allow younger kids to ride with a parent through calmer water.

Specialty Trips

Hells Canyon boasts some of the best small mouth bass fishing on the planet. 60+ fish days are not uncommon. These feisty fish are great on a spinning rod or with a little instruction. They are great fun to catch on flies. Starting September 21st, you can fish for steelhead, or bird hunt for Chukar partridges all day long. We take 4 days to cover 34 miles, and the trip is limited to 6 participant. On this idyllic yoga-raft trip, you can expect your first class guides to prepare gourmet meals, and guide you safely through the whitewater while you enjoy the incredible natural beauty and unwind with the support of energizing and restorative yoga practices. All levels welcome!
