Our family recently completed the Main Salmon trip with Rocky Mountain River Tours and it was fantastic. Our kids (10 and 14) were a bit nervous about camping for a whole week and a little scared that the rapids would be too adventours for them. By the last day they were both begging to stay longer and to paddle the rapids in one of the kayaks. All of the logistics were great, the food was amazing, the scenery was stunning and the activities were a blast. Our kids quickly made friends and we enjoyed getting to know the other parents and grandparents on the trip.
By far the very best part of this trip was the guides. They were friendly, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond each day to make sure we were safe, comfortable and having fun. I especially appreciated that three of our six guides were women. It was awesome for my 10 year old daughter to have such amazing role models on this trip. They really inspired her to get out of her comfort zone and now she loves kayaking.

This river trip exceeded our expectations! Everything from the adventures on the water, hiking, hot springs, delicious meals, and beach games... so much fun for our family! The river guides were professional, knowledgeable, and great entertainers. Krista helped us arrange it all seamlessly! We are excited to go again next year.

This is a gorgeous river and canyon with great whitewater that is perfect for rafts, paddle boats or kayaks. The rapids are big enough to be challenging but not life threatening. We have run western rivers with a group of friends for 25 year using commercial outfitters, and Rocky is as good if not better than any of them. Loved how they sent the barge ahead to setup camp and tents, and large river bags that made breaking camp a breeze. The Dutch oven cooking was outstanding. The crew was informative and fun and they took care of our every need. And of course they knew how to row.

Unparalleled! From the the pre-trip information, to Jared's quick response to additional questions, we headed into this trip with a feeling of comfort. Every single guide made sure we felt completely safe, knew what to expect and were professional, kind, funny, genuine and very hard working! The food was 5 star. The gear was clean and upscale. The history and geological talks by the guides were educational and fascinating. And, the fishing was incredible! I had been down the Middle Fork before, but NEVER like this. I'll be back and only with RMRT for sure! As with any service business, the staff that take care of you are the true difference makers and the Rocky guys and gals are the BEST in the business. Thanks Rocky Team!

We have done multi-day trips white water rafting. That said, going with Rocky Mountain River tours was a outstanding experience. Their flexibility with the trip was unique, food was amazing, guide personalities are outstanding along with their work ethic and enthusiasm! We had a blast! We were on the 6 day River of No Return. Look no further for a company in this area and go with em! We where in 5 states including Montana and saw bear, big horn sheep, river otters here in their absolute natural habitat!

Six days on the middle fork with this outfitter is a must. Jared and staff are on top of it and keep you email informed all the way up to D-Day. The guides we had made the trip easy and memorable. Book earlier than later to catch the better/higher water. Of the several outfitters available I would highly recommend RMRT.

Everything about our trip - the overall organization and attention to every detail; our outstanding trip leader, Thomas, and all our guides; the meticulously prepared healthy meals; jaw-dropping scenery throughout the 100 mile stretch of river with countless exciting rapids & our choice of oar boat, paddle boat, or duckies in which to experience them - could not have wished for more!
One thing... bring WARM clothing for evenings...more than you expect to need. Temperature drops in evening were extreme even in early July.
This was a trip of a lifetime!

I had a last minute chance to join this trip with my 2 kids and friends. Originally I wasn’t going to go, because I thought I’d get bored rafting down a river for 6 days.
Jeez was I wrong.
I loved that we could use the duckies and paddle down rapids on our own. What a thrill!
Besides all the river rafting, we enjoyed some small hikes, explored historic homesteads, soaked in a hot springs, stopped for ice cream, did some cliff jumping, played games and connected with family, old and new friends.
The food was so delicious. We all felt so spoiled. I’m still so impressed how well these guides do their outdoor and Dutch oven cooking. The carrot and chocolate cake were out of this world!!!
The guides were also very knowledgeable about the history of the river and its ecosystem, and of course the rapids. We had so much fun with them. Such hard workers!!!!
What a magical week to slow down, connect more with my kids & friends, and disconnect from the craziness of the rest of the world.
Thank you 💕

Our family gives this trip 5 stars all around. From the minute we started planning the trip with Jared and Krista until the very end when we said our goodbyes to the guides, we were so impressed. The 5 night/6 day trip down the Middle Fork of the Salmon River was full of adventure, fabulous, and I mean FABULOUS food, awesome camp sites, and wonderful guides! Wish we could give it 10 stars! Thank you Jared, Thomas, Charles, Fritz, Rob, and Cody for a wonderful family vacation that we will never forget!

Best guided trip on the Middle Fork! Rocky has the best guides in town and they are a major part of why the trip is so successful. Each guide is thoughtful, hard-working, and considerate to each guest. I was fortunate enough to have Troy, Tara, Cody, Fritz & Jacob on my trip and they really are the best of the best. Their years of experience both on this stretch and other stretches of the Salmon all culminate into a thorough knowledge of the history of the river, topography, rapids, and wildlife. Every detail has been considered and the guides make each day seamless so that guests can focus on enjoying the day. Families, individuals, and avid fishermen and women will all create amazing memories on the river and find peace in the Frank Church wilderness.

Are there any age or size limitations for kids?
Written August 5, 2019
Yes. We have a recommended age of 10+ on the Middle Fork and 6+ on the Salmon River of No Return. This is not set in stone as we take each of our client's needs into consideration. Give us a call to explore the possibilities.
