| Hells Canyon Snake River All-Inclusive Vacation Package! |
|---|
| Where the Snake River heads north and forms the border between Idaho and Oregon, it forms Hells Canyon, the deepest canyon in North America. Nez Perce Indian legend claims “Coyote dug Hells Canyon with a big stick to protect their ancestors in Oregon’s Blue mountains from the ‘Seven Devils’ across the gorge in what is now Idaho.” Between the rapids, the Snake River follows a scenic path, where you will encounter black bear, Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep, mountain goats, deer, and other high desert creatures. The warm water (up to 70°) offers unparalleled fishing. Hauling in a ten-foot white sturgeon is the experience of a lifetime, while the rainbow trout and small mouth bass fishing peaks during July, August, and early September.
Hells Canyon Raft, Inc has teamed up with the Gallop Annual Charity Auction (benefiting the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Spokane), in presenting this vacation of a lifetime! You will be bidding on a 3-day 'Hells Canyon Snake River' package (for two), that will include lodging accommodations the night before, full course meals from breakfast the first day, to lunch the last day. Professional top-of-the-line river equipment including self-bailing rafts and their accessories; coast guard approved life jackets; specially designed children’s life jackets; waterproof boxes for cameras, waterproof bags for personal gear; tents and ground cloths for sleeping under the stars (there are no mosquitoes there); freshly laundered sleeping bags; thick foam self inflating sleeping pads; comfortable camp chairs; and dining tables.
Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner:
HCR guides do all the camp work and are experts at preparing bountiful and healthy meals. From their ice chests, they produce a seemingly unending supply of fresh meats, cheese, fruits, vegetables, and breads. Breakfast may be fresh fruit, with blueberry sourdough pancakes, or banana nut muffins served piping hot out of our Dutch ovens. Lunches are riverside deli cold cuts with all the fixings so you can create your own version of the Dagwood. HCR like's to think of dinner as a show. Fresh Alaskan Salmon, BBQ tenderloin steaks. Cornish game hens with rosemary, and Dutch oven baked desserts and breads, all artfully prepared in our riverside kitchen. Special diets may be met. The best part is at the end: we do the dishes.
Drinks:
We provide drinks at all times. While on the raft we have cold water, lemonade, sodas, and fruit juices. At camp there is a selection of tea, coffee, cocoa, and drink mixers. We do provide a limited amount of cold beer and dinner wine. You are welcome to bring your own alcoholic beverages. We always have plenty of room and ice to keep them cold.
Donde esta el bano:
Hand wash facilities are available at all stops in camp. Sun showers are set up at night for a brief but hot shower. Using daily sanitized potable toilets, we carry out all human waste. Privacy is never a problem. Call HCR; perhaps they can relieve your concerns.
River Craft Information:
The most comfortable place to kick back and relax, take pictures, fish and enjoy the scenery. 16’ – 18’ in length and controlled by your guide with two large wooden oars, these boats are the safest way to navigate the rapids.
Paddle Rafts
Participate in the action; teamwork and fun are key elements of paddle rafting. Each person with paddle in hand, and coached by a guide, helps to navigate the rapids.
Inflatable Kayaks, a.k.a. “Squishies”
Even with no prior experience, this personal water craft will allow you to enjoy the thrill of river kayaking within minutes of putting on your life jacket and helmet. Reserve one for the whole trip or use one of the shared kayaks.
