The Middle Fork River offers some of the best hiking opportunities of any river in the West. It only takes a short hike to get the feeling of this far removed wilderness. Some of this terrain is steep but leads to beautiful scenic views. You may find that some of your hikes on a Middle Fork trip will require scrambling or light climbing where you will need the use of your hands.
As we travel down river, we make occasional stops to lead 'side hikes' which can be either very short and relatively easy, or much longer, covering significant distances and elevation. We hike over uneven, rocky, and often steep surfaces. Though all the hikes are not mandatory, when the rafts are tied up in swift current, all guests must get off the rafts and move up the shore a distance. Guests cannot be left on the rafts due to safety concerns. Reasonable mobility is important. If you have questions about your limitations, please call.
