LGBTQ Rafting

Annually we offer an LGBTQ specific rafting trip. In 2023, we bring to you High Water ‘River Pride ‘ on Idaho’s magnificent Main Salmon River, June 7-11. This river offers a spectacular float through the largest designated wilderness in the lower 48 states, The Frank Church Wilderness of No Return. Enjoy geothermal hot springs, exhilarating whitewater, camping among Idaho’s stoic Ponderosa Pines, gourmet food, delicious wines, and Idaho’s own potato vodka’s. By day, get ready for some fast moving high water, join a social paddle boat or enjoy an oar rig rowed by a guide while taking in the beauty and history of the river. From camp, embark on scenic hikes, try your hand at deep pool fishing, play games, enjoy time around the campfire or indulge yourself in some solo time.

Traveling down the river for 6 or 12 days, the group forms strong community that moves together day to day, making and breaking camp, sharing food, playing on the water, and learning about each other and about the surroundings. It’s a truly unique way to spend time with yourself and other people, sharing space, appreciating the outdoors and embracing the calming effect of being completely unplugged.

With our ‘River Pride ‘ theme, you can expect to find some new like-minded spirits in your fellow travelers of the greater LGBTQ community.

This is a trip of a lifetime!

LGBTQ river adventures offer a unique opportunity to be present in nature with all of her wonders. To make stories with new and old friends alike. To explore the river, to be yourself in all of your glory and to smile and laugh with abandon. This trip gives you the freedom to let go of inhibitions and boundaries, knowing that there is no passing of judgment, only sharing of acceptance!
