I have started reading "River of No Return" by Johnny Carrey & Cort Conley. The book is all about the early travels on the
Main Salmon River in Idaho. As I'm sitting there reading about the huge wooden boats they called "Scows" and how they required two boatmen to navigate the river using two huge wooden oars off each end, I think to myself WOW....whitewater rafting has come a long way! They used these boats in the early 1900's for exploratory trips when trying to map out railroad routes. It wasn't until the 1930's that they used inflatable rafts and braved the rivers for fun.

These days we love rafting the
River of No Return in Idaho. With the ever-changing technologies in adventure sports, we can now enjoy the rivers safely and with most of the luxuries of home. Our guides are thoroughly trained and very familiar with the river at all levels. The river now makes for a great family vacation in Idaho. With the large sandy beaches to play or relax on, the beautiful scenery, and the amazing whitewater fun how can you go wrong for your adventure vacation!
