The scenic trips are guided, oar-powered, meaning that there is a guide in every raft, and the guides use oars to power the boats, allowing guests the opportunity to sit back, relax, and enjoy the scenery and the wildlife viewing. Plus, Mad River runs the only Jackson-based guide school, allowing us to select the most talented guides. Their expertise and knowledge of the Snake is unrivaled. S cenic trips run the 13-mile section between Wilson and South Park. This is a very picturesque stretch, with views of the Tetons and ample opportunity to spot wildlife.
Trips focus on scenery and wildlife.
Children must be a minimum of 4 years of age for the scenic trips. Passengers do not get wet on scenic trips, and for that reason, it is possible for guests to bring video and photographic equipment with them. Knowing that they won't get wet, guests should plan to wear comfortable clothing. Capilene, polypropilene, fleece, soft-soled shoes are always recommended. Guests should dress in layers, to be able to put on another layer if it gets cool, and to take off a layer if it gets warm.
