Idaho Whitewater Rafting

Recent "splash news" from O.A.R.S. Idaho whitewater rafting operations based in Lewiston, Idaho:

According to the O.A.R.S. Idaho Regional Manager, Curt Chang (Curt was an original Grand Canyon Dories guide) – High water is fading and the river temperatures are rising. The Idaho crew is looking forward to perfect summer weather. The weather has been nice, a bit cooler than normal with highs in the 80º’s to 90º. A June 6th Middle Fork of the Salmon River trip was a little cool, which was ideal for hiking. There had been rain showers on and off the past two week on the Middle Fork of the Salmon River and the Main Salmon River, but that is giving way to fair and warmer temps now.  Fishing success is starting to pick up now as well. The Middle Fork, Main Salmon and Hells Canyon on the Snake River trips have been very successful with lots of happy faces from passengers and guides.

Curt sent these images from the June 6th Middle Fork of the Salmon River trip.
