Each year we run one or two kayak trips on the Middle Fork of the Salmon with expert kayak instructors Phil and Mary DeRiemer. For 2006, Phil and Mary have chosen to run two of these trips due to the popularity of the trip that we did in 2005. It’s only October and both of these trips are already full. There are only 12 spots available for kayakers on the June 25th trip and 3 spots available on the July 3rd trip.

If you are interested in booking one of these trips, please call us so we can reserve your space before the trips fill up.

Most of our June trips on the Middle Fork will be dedicated to kaykers and their families wanting to kayak the Middle Fork without instruction. We are offering the special price of $1095 for a five day trip and $1345 for a six day trip.

Our trips on the Tuolumne and Middle Fork are done for the year and we are running a few more September Rogue trips. One of these is a Yoga trip with ECHO guide and Yoga instructor Dennis Eagan. He calls it “Wild Yoga.” Dennis leads Yoga workshops all over the western hemisphere and likes the Rogue because of the wild setting and the open spaces for groups.

This is a four day trip starting on Friday, Septmeber 9th.

Today we sold out the last spots for our annual Bluegrass trip on the Tuolumne River with musicians Laurie Lewis and Tom Rozum.

Don’t distress, because there is still space available for a June 27-30 trip with Laurie and Tom on the Rogue River in Oregon. This will be a unique trip because we will camp for two nights along the river and spend the third night at Half Moon Bar Lodge.

This is truly an amazing experience and is typically our most popular trip each season.

This year (2005) we’ve decided to run two wine trips on the Rogue River. The first will be with Rob McNeil, Director of Winemaking at Mumm Cuvee Napa on June 13th, 2005. The second will be with Jim O’Shea, Director of Hospitality for Sterling Vineyards on June 22nd.

These are usually very popular trips due to the combination of wine and the fantastic wilderness setting of the Rogue.

We’ve set dates for the two trips this year with Laurie Lewis and Tom Rozum on the Tuolumne and Rogue Rivers.

They’ll be joining us on a four day trip on the Rogue from July 27-30. We will be camping for the first two nights of this trip and spend the third night at Half Moon Bar Lodge. The Rogue will be immediately followed by their tradition three day Tuolumne trip on August 1-3.

The dates were chosen so that the two trips can be combined into an eight day whitewater bluegrass fiesta! For information and details, check out out “Bluegrass on Whitewater.”

We’ve set our family trip dates on the Main Salmon, Rogue, Middle Fork for 2005. These are some of our most popular trips due to the reduced price so sign up early if you’re interested.

Main Salmon - July 29 to August 3
Rogue - August 3 to 6
Middle Fork - August 8 to 13
