Snake River Float Trip

Jun 2011 • Couples

This is a "must do" if you are seeing Yellowstone, it's just a few miles out the south gate.
We went to Jacksonhoe, but you don't have to go that far south to catch it on the SnakeRiver. They drive you back to the meeting place in a van.
Friends of ours suggested it and we were not disappointed.
It is NOT wild rapids, but the water was runing pretty swift due to the snowmelt run off. We did not get wet and the guild steered the pontune boat and very knowledgeable guide to point things out,unforgetable sites with the Grand Tetons as a backdrop!
Whoever you go with(there a serveral outfits that do it) you'll be glad you did it.
Not scary, good for families too.
We saw bald eagles and moose too!

Fly fishing

We came to fly fish. Not disappointed. Beautiful cut throats. The river is absolutely beautiful. Almost perfect scenery, and conditions. Be careful though the water is clear so you must sneak up on the fish or you spook them. We were successful with dry flies

Rafting the River

May 2014 • Family

While on a 7 day tour with Caravan, our 47 participants were treated to a 90 minute raft ride along 10 miles of the Snake River. It was fast moving due to the snow melt from the mountains, and a quick rain storm blew in just as we started to enjoy our sack lunches, but ponchos were provided and our guide brought us safely thru. The scenery was spectacular from the vantage point of the river, and the experience was exciting for even us old people.

Wonderful waterway

Sep 2018

We had a great trip rafting down the Snake River. The float trip covered ten miles and was a great way to take in the awesome views of the Teton Mountains.

Amazing river

Jul 2017 • Couples

This river runs all through Yellowstone Park and is joined by the Lewis River just as it exits the southern border into Wyoming on its way down through Jackson Hole and into Idaho. Take some time to marvel at its beauty as you travel / hike through the park.

Beautiful scenery

Jul 2016 • Couples

You have to go the Chapel of Transfiguration which is on the
Snake River. Unfortunately the ferry was not operating at the time we visited. The Rangers were very busy and could not run the ferry at the time.

great view of a river that I have heard of for years. Rafters going by made the experience even more special.
