Music in the Canyon
Come join us for 5 days and 4 nights on the lower Salmon river with musical guest Margo Cilker on this year's Music in the Canyon trip!
Overview
Musical lovers and river runners alike will have an unforgettable time on this adventure! Margo Cilker will be joining us and playing music along the way.
Singer-songwriter Margo Cilker has spent the last few years on the road—from South Carolina to Montana, to the Basque Country and back to the American West. She says she pines for “Basque wine, music, and cowboys.” Forging a path that is both deeply rooted and ever-changing, Margo recently alighted near the Columbia River in southern Washington with her husband Forrest and their dog and some horses. Her music reflects a restlessness and continued yearning for the road.
Come join us on an unforgettable 5-day adventure through the lower section of the Salmon River known as the "lower gorge". As the longest undammed river contained within 1 state in the lower 48 United States, the Salmon River is arguably one of the most beautiful rivers in North America. Crystal clear water flows 425 miles through a pristine watershed, which is primarily wilderness.
Float through 3 deep river canyons while navigating exhilarating class II, III and IV whitewater in a guided oar boat, paddle raft, and/or inflatable kayak. The white sand beaches are perfect for beach games as well as camping.
This trip is perfect for both music lovers, thrill-seekers and relaxation-seekers, ages 5 and up.
Pricing does not include gratuity or a flat $30/person Federal use fee.
Please note if the launch is less than 10 days out, you must call our office to book.
