Specialty Trips Offered by River Outfitters

(EMAILWIRE.COM, May 03, 2011 ) Stanley, Idaho – Visitors who take an early evening hike above the village of Stanley, Idaho in June or early July, are likely to hear Jerry Hughes playing the trumpet, practicing for the jazz trip his outfit hosts every summer on the Salmon River. It has become a tradition with Hughes River Expeditions and one of their most popular offerings. “I’m not as good as those other guys,” says Hughes, “but I’m just as loud.”

River outfitters are attracting new clients with offerings that go beyond traditional rafting and kayaking. Specialty trips this summer will include photography photography workshops, writing clinics, and even one that eschews gourmet cuisine for a Pub & Grub evening. Here are a few samples of what western outfitters are offering this season.

Middle Fork Writers Workshop with Tim Cahill, August 17 -21

Tim Cahill, a founding editor of Outside magazine and author of several books about adventure travel, will be offering a writing workshop this August on IdahoÂ’s Middle Fork of the Salmon River. Co-teaching with Cahill will be Michael Shapiro, a travel writer whose stories have appeared in National Geographic Traveler, the Washington Post and San Francisco Chronicle. For information contact Idaho River Journeys, 1-888-997-8399.

Snake River Photo Workshop, June 15 - 20

Photographer and river guide, Boyd Norton, will conduct a photo workshop on the Wild & Scenic Snake River June 15-20, 2011. In addition to helping participants with photography, Boyd will share the history of efforts to save the Snake River in Hells Canyon from the High Mountain Sheep and other proposed dams in the 1960Â’s and 1970Â’s. Boyd and other members of the Hells Canyon Preservation Council led the successful political battle that eventually preserved AmericaÂ’s deepest Canyon. His photography and article in Audubon Magazine (January, 1970) were invaluable contributions to the campaign. For details contact Hughes River Expeditions, 1-800-262-1882.

Pub & Grub Food on the Kern River, July 7 - 8

Just a few hours from Los Angeles, the Kern River features the best rafting in California. Combine the whitewater runs with brewpub offerings from the Kern River Brewery, and you have the makings of a great two-day rafting trip. The beers will be fresh, local and cold. The food will represent the best Pub Grub cuisine. For details contact Kern River Outfitters at 1-800-323-4234.

2011 Salmon River Jazz Trip, July 12-16

Each evening, Jerry Hughes with help from a jazz trio plays for an hour before dinner. The musicians set up on huge, pure white sand beaches, in the middle of spectacular canyon-lands, and the music echoes off canyon walls. Perfect acoustics. This yearÂ’s trio features bass, keyboards, and a saxophone soloist. Enjoy evenings listening to jazz on IdahoÂ’s River of No Return.

Hiking the Rogue, June 2011

Lace up your hiking shoes and hit the trail. With its easy gradient and ample shade, the Rogue River trail is a wonderful way to see the canyon. These trips are offered in June and feature overnight lodging (with hearty meals, a hot shower and comfortable beds) at Black Bar, Marial, Paradise and Clay Hill Lodges. Support rafts go ahead of the group and set up lunch. If you get tired of hiking, hop on a raft for the ride to the next lodge. Contact Rogue River Journeys at 1-866-213-7754.

AmericaÂ’s Most Secluded Wild & Scenic River

Heralding dates for accessing the Jarbidge/Bruneau come spring is akin to the excitement of fallÂ’s first Beaujolais Nouveau. Both require a good year. Paddlers can get onto IdahoÂ’s northerly free-flowing Jarbidge/Bruneau River system for only a few weeks each spring but when and for how long is determined by snowpack. No dams control the flow of this remote river system. Far and Away Adventures has been reading snowpack and water levels and this week announced three 2011 four-day / three-night trips: May 17-20, May 23-26 and June 1-4. The per-person rate is $1,680. Contact Far and Away Adventures at 1-800-232-8588.
