The Middle Fork of the Salmon is perhaps the best whitewater river in the Pacific Northwest. The beauty of the river is you raft 100 miles and there are a series of approximately 100 rapids. It’s rare, for many rivers in the Northwest to get a large amount of rafting days and get that many rapids. The best part about the entire trip is the hot springs at a number of the campsites. Our crew consisted of 20 people, and you could see we had to scout of a number of the rapids.
