Experience a Whitewater
Vacation with K-Bear — Idaho Style!
If you're anticipating
a float trip full of thrills and never ending excitement . . . this is it!
You'll travel
approximately 95 miles in 5 five days through gorges 1000 feet deeper than the
Grand Canyon. The Salmon is a river of many changing moods. At times it lets
you catch your breath as it pauses in tranquil waters of unforgettable scenery.
Then it swirls past noisy creeks, growing in size and swiftness as it takes you
into thundering rapids like Salmon Falls, Big Mallard, Split Rock and
Growler.
The "River of No
Return" got its name from a 95-mile section of the Salmon where swift currents
and vertical shorelines made it impossible for the upriver return of early
explorers, either on the water or on the shoreline. The Salmon is steeped in
early Indian and explorer history. Lewis and Clark's famous Corps of Discovery
was turned back by the Mighty Salmon River.
On K-Bear trips, we
pause from time to time to ponder ancient Indian rock paintings, explore old
cabins and mines, view wildlife and enjoy riverside hot springs. Long summer
days on the Salmon allow plenty of time for hiking, swimming and relaxing on
fantastic, sandy beaches.
Fishing is fantastic in
August and September for Rainbow and Cutthroat trout. Only artificial flies and
lures with single, barbless, hooks are allowed. 'Catch and release' is required
for all species, as is a valid Idaho fishing license. We recommend fly-
fishing. Some good patterns to bring along are: Renegade, Adams, Hoppers, Buck
tailed-Caddis, Humpy, and Royal Coachman in small sizes #12-16.
Our meals deserve
special note. From the time you embark with us, wholesome and mouth-watering
Dutch oven meals add a special delight to your wilderness vacation. We serve
fresh baked breads and hot biscuits. Enjoy, delicious smoked prime-rib, tasty
steaks, chops and chicken, fresh fruits, salads, and sinful Dutch oven deserts.
Our famous Huckleberry
ice cream, hand churned on the Salmon, is always a camp favorite.

Hi Mason, "Just wanted to say, 'Thank you' for an
awesome trip. We all had a great time. You have a crew of true professionals.
We all felt perfectly safe and relaxed, even in the rough water. The biscuits
and gravy was too good; I gained 3 pounds!" Save us a spot for next
summer."
