“
I have yet to meet a NWRC guide I wouldn’t want to have as an extended houseguest or join on another river trip. I have such faith in the NWRC guides that when they tell me I can handle something, I know I can. Another perfectly staffed, equipped and managed journey down the Gorgeous Rogue River.”

Join us for our annual “Bluegrass on Whitewater” trip featuring Laurie Lewis on the famous Middle Fork of the Salmon River. We have yet to find a better combination than rafting down the river by day and listening to Laurie’s music by night.
Laurie Lewis has been doing river trips for over 20 years and was nominated for a Grammy in 1995. She will be bringing their guitar and fiddle and encourage guests to bring their river instruments as well. You can choose to sit back and listen or join in!
You will raft or kayak down the river while our guides set up camp, cook delicious meals, and do all the clean-up. You can relax under the setting sun while enjoying exciting whitewater, stunning scenery, and beautiful live music.
