On all Mountain River Outfitters trips, no matter what time of year, gives you time to kick back and relax while a guide takes care of the rest. The wilderness is always keeping us on our toes, so no matter when you come be ready for anything. Spring and early summer  rafting April through June has it’s wildflowers and higher water flows for exciting whitewater and more time for hiking. Although temperatures during the day are warm the nights can be chilly and the water temperatures cool. MRO provides wetsuits and splash gear for all early trips. July and August are the most predictable with hot sunny days with little humidity or bugs. The whitewater is good and the water temperatures are warm. On the Salmon River the beaches just get bigger as the water flows fall. September is uncrowded and offers some of the mildest weather, although water temps can start to fall and the nights will be a bit cooler. Lower water flows usually make for better fishing, mild whitewater and a slower paced trip.
