In the morning, meet your guides at our small local airport for an amazing flight into camp along the Minam River.  After setting up camp, hit the river for safety basics and familiarize yourself with the boats: entry, exit, movement, and paddling strokes.

Tonight we kick off the adventure with dinner at the luxury Minam River Lodge! Dine on hyperlocal grub, drinks are on-your-own, and hike back to camp under the stars. 

After a hearty breakfast, it's time to hike downstream to our second camp along the mighty Minam. Along the way, visit historical indigenous sites, stop for a gourmet charcuterie lunch, try your had at fly fishing, and practice reading river features. 

After a short hike to start the day, it's time to take off the packs and set up the boats!  Put your paddling practice to work as we float 10 miles downriver. Watch for wildlife, stare in awe at the towering basalt cliffs, and enjoy the freedom of being on the water.

On our last morning, help break camp after a chef-prepared breakfast and paddle the remaining 5 miles of river to where the Minam meets the Wallowa River on its journey to the Pacific Ocean. After a celebratory beer, our guides will take you back to your cars. Hugs goodbye and a safe drive home.
