Hot Tub Springs may be the best hot-springs in Central Idaho and that is saying a lot! Panoramic canyon views are spectacular from the springs. The tub is large, deep and comfortable!

The Main Salmon is a whitewater river. Roller coaster rapids such as Rainier, Alder Creek, and Bailey along with tight, technical rapids such as Big Mallard, Elkhorn, Black Creek, and more. Main Salmon rapids cut through the heart of Central Idaho.

Camping on the Main Salmon River may be unparalleled by any other river trip in the west.

You can inflatable kayak the entire river if you would like! With some scouting of course!

The Main Salmon is a fantastic trip for all ages! Great for extended family trips!

There is more Central Idaho History on this single section of river than nearly all others combined! We will make many stops to check out archeological sites, homestead remnants, pictographs and other cool off-river side attractions!

COVID – 19 & RIVER TRIPS

With Covid-19 cases continuing to rise, we are asking our clients and staff to take every precaution possible to ensure the most safe and healthy trips on the river as we can. This includes limiting exposure to large groups or gatherings before your trip, wearing face masks when going out to public places and during travel to and from the river trip, and washing your hands more often and more thoroughly! Please practice high levels of sanitation and precaution when preparing for and traveling to your river trip. Please remember to self evaluate for signs or symptoms of possible covid-19 infection in the weeks and days leading up to your river trip.

HRE has improved sanitation on the river as well. We have invested in many products for around camp and the boat houses. Each guide will be wearing a mask/handkerchief/buff while preparing any meal that won’t be cooked, while serving any food, and while in close quarters such as a bus ride to and from the river. Clients will also be required to wear a mask/handkerchief/buff while serving themselves food or using any group shared common items (ie: water cooler, cocktail ice cooler, hot water and coffee dispensers, etc.) We have also invested in a product called Vital Oxide which has a half life of around 60 seconds and the effectiveness of 100% bleach. Guides will be moving around the camp spraying down common items with the Vital Oxide routinely. We have also invested in gallons of hand sanitizer and each shared common item will have a hand sanitizer stationed along side which you will need to use (or wash your hands) before using any shared common camp item. Between trips the gear is laundered, washed by our new Hotsy machine and commercial dish washer and/or sprayed down with Vital Oxide and hang dried.

We are ecstatic to be able to operate the 2020 season and offer trips with these increased sanitary protocols. Nearing mid-season with these adjusted protocols we are happy to report that the trips are going extremely well and they are all very easy to follow.
