| Overview |
|
Salome’ has teamed up with Far and Away Adventures to take you and your friends on an unforgettable life time luxury river trip down the Middle Fork of the Salmon in Idaho’s most majestic wilderness! This is a feature wilderness luxury experience. Guests travel from around the world to experience the Middle Fork. Nearly 100 miles of adrenaline-pumping rapids, tranquil pools, and relaxing riffles. Remote beauty, with diversity in ecosystems, from high alpine to desert canyon. Blue-ribbon trout fishing and abundant wildlife. It is one of Planet Earth's truly special wild places. Six days and five nights of getting away from it all - and getting re-centered in a way that's nearly impossible in the modern world.
While under way you will enjoy delicious organic cuisine and fine premium wines provided by Retzlaff Estate Winery. Retzlaff will lead us in a vertical wine tasting of their finest vintages. Salome’ will enjoy leading those that desire in daily Pilate’s instruction and in the art of relaxation and outrageous fun! Let Far and Away take care of all your needs while you enjoy; scrumptious meals, the river and all you can do on it, wildlife viewing, hiking, soaking in natural hot springs, morning coffee delivered to your tent, cushy cots with comfortable bedding, hot showers, entertainment to enjoy the evenings by and more!….How about just lying on the banks of the Middle Fork reading your treasured book and enjoying something nice to drink?!
This river trip is available to 22 participants; I hope you will consider joining me this July! |

Wake up to fresh coffee delivered to your tent, follow your nose to breakfast, enjoy Pilates with Salome’ as the crew packs up the camp. Remember all play, no work! A day of incredible beauty and rafting excitement awaits you. You may wish to float in the very stable large rafts or join a small crew in a paddle boat (my favorite!). There is also the option of trying the inflatable kayaks or bringing along your own hard shell. Lunch on the river, soak in the sun, play in the water, read your favorite book or catch a gorgeous trout! You decide, we’ll make it happen! Ah, another wonderful dinner and fine wines. Star gaze and feel the peace! |
