Saddle

Enjoy the pristine wilderness of Idaho's "River of No Return." As you ride horseback with us from Deadwood river base camp you'll have the chance to see elk, deer, moose, bear, cougar, and wolves. Your guide will point out points of interest along the trails in and around some of the most spectacular country in the Gem State.

Our base camp offers cabins and a lodge, comfortable, yet maintains the atmosphere of the back country. Our family has offered services here since 1969, making us one of the oldest outfitters in the state.

• Main Payette -This three-hour splashy getaway is perfect for anyone — especially families, first-timers, groups and tours. Grab a paddle and dive into the fun as you encounter excitement around every bend. After a few miles of this relatively calm stretch of river, you'll feel like an old pro.
  
  
• North Fork Carbarton - Spectacular scenery with glimpses of Idaho's abundant wildlife highlight this full-day trip as you glide through eleven miles of dense, remote forest. Relax in the warm water and enjoy your delicious riverside lunch as you escape the strain of everyday life.
  
  
• Lower South Fork - Are you ready for a truly wild whitewater challenge? During this eight mile section of churning river, nonstop class III and IV rapids will plunge you into the ultimate whitewater experience. From Garden Valley to Banks, you'll conquer rapids with colorful names like Bronco Billy, Staircase, and Slalom. This three-hour trip is a definite must for the adventuresome.
  
  

• South Fork Canyon - Bring your spirit of adventure and be ready to get wet as you peer down a thousand feet of vertical walls to catch glimpses of the 13 mile Canyon section of the South Fork. Towering canyon walls channel the clear blue water as it plummets through one of the West's most magnificent river corridors. The combination of steep drops and awesome scenery makes this the crown jewel of continuous Class IV rapids. The portage around thundering Big Falls, a forty-foot waterfall, is sure to leave you awestruck by its majesty. A gourmet lunch will be prepared riverside by our guides. This trip is for active people looking for excitement.
