Popular Expeditions
Colorado River Rafting
Cataract Canyon rafting is an anomaly. Its rapids rank along with those of the Grand Canyon in power and difficulty. In fact, the river becomes unruly during the run off in May and June.
Salmon River Rafting
There is a green hole in the middle of Idaho. A spot refreshingly empty on your highway map. A place where pavement never was…and wild rivers still are…the Salmon River- The River of No Return.
LEAVE THE COOKING TO US!
Since 1966, Sue Holladay brings years of river running and cooking experience to our menus that accommodate everyone’s tastes and dietary needs. Just show up for the meals and enjoy your day of adventure. All the planning, packing, shopping and preparation is done for you. Our guides create river recipes into “to die for” meals. Dutch-oven lasagna, salads, fresh salmon or steak, brownies… You will be hungry! Oh yeah, and we do the dishes!
BREAKFAST
First is the sound of the river. Second your eyes open to the sun-drenched red-rock sunrise. Then your senses take in the aroma of fresh brewed coffee…Every morning, our guides rise early to brew fresh coffee and prepare a cold and hot breakfast such as made-to-order omelets, fresh blueberry pancakes, sausages, cereal, yogurt and fruit.
ON-THE-GO RIVER SNACKS
While floating down the river or riding your bike, by mid morning your appetite may come creeping back! We offer on-the-go trail mix and other snacks to tie you over until lunch. Thirsty? You’re covered there too. Lemonade and fresh water are always available.
DRINKS
Our menu offers coffee, tea, hot chocolate, juice and water is always available. Coke products are limited to two cans per person, per day. You can bring your favorite beverage and please avoid glass bottles.
LUNCH
Lunches are served river or trail side, deli style. Your guides will set up a buffet, offering chicken caesar wraps, deli sandwiches, PB&J’s, chips, cookies and fresh fruit. Enjoy your lunch under the shade of a cottonwood tree exchanging stories of the day so far…
DINNER
Your day in the sun winds down with freshly prepared appetizers which are served while the guides begin dinner preparations. Have a hankering for a beer or glass of wine? BYOB is the rule, and we can keep everything cool for you! Veggies, fresh cheeses, chips and salsa lead into delicious gourmet camp dinners prepared with the famous Dutch ovens or grilled to order. Fresh salads and breads compliment the menu and our pineapple upside down cake, brownies or sopapillas will top off a perfect meal. All you have to do is sit back, relax and eat…and there’s always seconds!
SPECIAL DIETARY NEEDS
Our menu does address special dietary needs. We can accommodate food allergies or dietary needs with advance notice and our meals can be tailored for vegetarians. Just let us know when you complete your guest data information form if you are vegetarian or have any special nutritional needs.
“It’s beyond me how we ate so well. Fresh is the key word for the food on a Holiday river trip. Never have I had so much delicious fruit! Even my 8-year-old daughter cleaned her plate.”
