📅 Search your reservation by start date here: 👉 Search Reservation & Sign Waiver ✅ E-sign your waiver and share the link with your group. ✅ Everyone is required to sign a waiver before the trip. ✅ Minors must have a parent or legal guardian sign ahead of time—youth and scout leaders cannot sign on their behalf. 📝 Paper waivers are available on-site, but this can cause delays at check-in. E-sign ahead of time for a smooth and quick experience on trip day! 🚣‍♂️

📧 Check your confirmation email for specific details about your trip’s meeting time. ⏰ Make sure you are on Mountain Time! Some guests travel from areas in Pacific Time, so double-check your time zone to avoid being late. In general, plan to arrive 5-10 minutes early if you’re already changed into clothes that can get wet and ready to go. If you need to change, organize gear, or have questions before launching, give yourself extra time to get settled. Being ready on time helps ensure a smooth start to your adventure! 🚣‍♂️

All Adventure Idaho trips operate on Mountain Standard Time (MST). 🚨 Important: The Salmon River marks the boundary between Mountain Time and Pacific Time, which causes a lot of confusion! Phones and GPS devices often switch time zones automatically near the river, leading to guests arriving an hour late or even missing their trips. 👉 Pro Tip: To avoid time zone mix-ups, manually set your phone to Mountain Time before your trip: • Go to your phone’s settings • Select “Date & Time” • Turn off “Set Automatically” • Manually choose Mountain Standard Time (MST) This is especially important if you are camping along the Salmon River, where time zones can switch frequently. Stay on Mountain Time, and you’ll be right on time for your adventure!

Reservations are highly recommended, especially during peak season. Walk-ins are possible if space is available, but booking ahead guarantees your spot.

🚫 We do NOT allow flip-flops, Crocs, or cowboy boots. These don’t provide enough support or safety on the river. ✅ Best River Shoes: Sandals - Chacos or Tevas – A river guide favorite! Tennis or running shoes – Work great for a day on the river. Astral or Five Ten – Some of the best water shoes available. ❄️ For cold spring flows: Add neoprene socks to any shoes for extra warmth. 🏕️ For multi-day trips: Bring two pairs: One for the river and a dry pair for camp that’s sturdy enough for hiking and exploring. Having the right shoes makes for a safer and more comfortable trip.
