Overview

This whitewater rafting trip follows the Grand Canyon section of the Snake River near Jackson Hole. The trip lasts about three and a half hours and includes both active paddling and non-paddling roles on the raft, which is guided by a professional whitewater rafting guide. The river features Class I to III rapids, ranging from easy to moderate difficulty. Between rapids, calmer stretches allow time to observe the surrounding landscape. The trip includes transportation to and from the river, paddling pants and jacket, a Coast Guard approved personal flotation device, and a guide to lead the trip. The rafting route covers the Upper Snake River, an area known for its clear water, distinctive geology, and a variety of wildlife. The river supports activities like fishing, hiking, and camping. The trip is operated by Mad River Boat Trips, a company offering guided river trips in Jackson Hole since 1977. Their experienced guides navigate the twists and turns of the Snake River Canyon while sharing information about local plants, animals, geology, and history. This rafting trip is designed for groups of all kinds and provides an active way to explore this part of Wyoming. Participants should wear shoes that stay on when wet, such as old running shoes or water shoes; booties are available to rent on site if needed. Synthetic clothing is recommended because it dries faster than cotton, and layering is advised to prepare for variable weather. Wet suits and jackets can be rented for colder days. Splash gear is provided free of charge. Guests should bring a change of dry clothes and a towel, as well as sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat. Children must weigh at least 50 pounds to participate. Gratuities for the guide and bus driver are not included in the price.
