My wife Brenda and I own and operate Mountain River Outfitters and Salmon River Tours, I have been guiding and outfitting whitewater rafting, jet boat tours and fishing trips in Idaho for 24 years. It has been rewarding to share Idaho’s great rivers with so many guests and creating lifelong friendships with our clients. We feel privileged to live and work so close to nature and decided many years ago to raise our 3 kids here in Riggins, Idaho. This small town, dubbed “Idaho’s Whitewater Capital”, located in the mountains of North Central Idaho is a quiet and unspoiled community of a little more than 400 people.
There are many outfitters that have good river trips, but none that offer our quality of equipment, professionalism and methods for ensuring exceptional service and attention to detail. I believe we have created the best system for ensuring our guests the highest trip experience available. We accomplish this by only employing professional fun loving guides, using the finest and newest rafting equipment; from our boats to our tents to our kitchen equipment, everything is top of the line. We understand that the little details are what make the perfect river vacation, and we are committed to providing this for every trip regardless of the group size. We have the lowest guide to guest ratio to ensure personalized attention and uncrowded boats.
Idaho’s whitewater rafting has a unique appeal because of its diversity in scenery, vast wilderness, serenity, unique wildlife and its pristine river quality. Our guides will bring all of these elements to life on your rafting adventure. We look forward to creating a personal relationship with you and your family on your next outdoor vacation.

We pride ourselves in having the best guides on the water. We only employ experienced, safe, fun-loving and personable guides and staff. It’s hard to choose an outfit when all companies advertise similar qualities, but I guarantee if you choose us for your adventure vacation you will immediately know that you have made the right choice.
