In the morning, meet your guides at our small local airport for an amazing flight into the Eagle Cap Wilderness.  After landing along the river and heading to our accommodations (camping or MRL), 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, and get to know the team.

After a hearty breakfast, it's time to hike downstream (if on the July 8th trip) or paddle downstream (June 18th trip) to our camp along the mighty Minam. Along the way, visit historical indigenous sites, stop for a gourmet charcuterie lunch, try your hand at fly fishing, and practice reading river features. 

After breakfast, it's time to 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.
