Autumn Adults Only Trips
Beginning with the August 4th departure we again offer lodge accommodation trips on a regular basis, and unless otherwise requested by a group restrict participation to adults. Because of school commitments, family travel moderates in the fall and adults who wish to avoid travel with small children are assured mature companionship while floating the Salmon. At one time we called these seniors only trips. However, there are increasing numbers of seniors who wish to experience the Salmon River Canyon with an adult child as a companion. We therefore have eliminated the fifty year age minimum to allow this opportunity for mature family members to share this special time on the Salmon River together.

Late August often finds river traffic much reduced and we expect to see other river travelers less frequently than in the summer. The pace is leisurely with the lower river volume typical of autumn. Black bear are more often spotted at this time of year. Because the Indian Summer climate provides cooler nights and warm day time temperatures, we are again encouraged to seek the security of the river lodges for our overnight stays. While these departures follow the same logistical format as the Spring Wildlife trips with lodge accommodations, it is more likely we will need to substitute a chartered air taxi flight out of the canyon on the last river day rather than use jet boats for our egress. Consideration of this trip should include an awareness that small, single engine aircraft may be a necessary part of the trip's logistics. The flight from our last river night's lodge to Salmon is about thirty-five minutes and offers scenic views of the canyon and the wilderness area unavailable from the river or highway.
