Our most popular trip! This trip combines the serene beauty of the 8 mile scenic float with the excitement of paddling through rapids in the Grand Canyon of the Snake River. The 8-Mile scenic float begins at Pritchard Creek where you will float past Bald Eagle and Osprey nesting grounds as your guide tells you stories of the area and points out the many geological features. This section of the river is home to a variety of waterfowl and native animals such as deer, elk, otters, and moose.
Early morning is the watering time for most animals along the river and affords the best opportunity for wildlife viewing. By mid-morning it is break time at West Table on the banks of the Snake and it is time to gear up for the most asked for activity in Jackson Hole: Whitewater Rafting in the Grand Canyon of the Snake River.
There is no need for superlatives, the names of the rapids say it all - Big Kahuna, Lunch Counter, Three Oar Deal, Ropes, and Champagne. After your adventure is over, we take you to a spot along the river for a deli lunch before we bring you back to town.
There is no bus travel between where the scenic trip ends and the whitewater trip begins. It is a continuous float. Be sure to make your reservations in advance because our most popular trip of the day fills up quickly. This trip is about 5 ? to 6 hours from the time you leave our office until you get back to town.
