Hey y’all next month I’m going to Montana and I’m gonna be white water rafting and hiking. What shoes should I get? Nothing too expensive. It’s my first time so any advice y’all could give would be wonderful.
Welp,
I’m looking for a new 12’ boat to R2 and R4 down the Colorado. After going over the needs and wants and yadda yadda over and over ive settled on these two boats..
I like to customer service of RMR, they have been amazing, but I get employee pricing on Star/NRS products.
This boat will be primarily day trip paddle boat, with maybe a frame/oar upgrade later one. Single over nights on the upper C at most..
I’m torn on what boat to go with!! Pros and cons?
Thanks!

Two women fighting for some reason so bad the instructors and husband have to butt in to break it up.
Had a hot time on the Canyon, a bit less water than I'd seen in the past, but still a fun time with smooth lines (mostly)
Has anyone put a 8’ Bimini on a 14’ raft? I know 6’ is the recommended, but the extra shade seems like it would be nice for passengers on desert overnights.
Green RMR. Thanks!
Just got done backpacking about 40 miles of the Rogue River here in Oregon and was envious of the rafters we saw along the hike. We are looking at planning our next trip and were looking at the Owyhee Canyon lands in south eastern Oregon. After looking at the lack of trails and the option of floating the river, I am interersted in potentially doing a rafting trip instead of a backpacking trip.
My question though is what is the process for planning a back country rafting trip? Is there a way to know what you're getting into and knowing if the river is a viable option or not?
It does sound like there is a rafting company that guides through the Owyhee river so calling them for more info is probably the best option, but for future sake, and I guess just because I am curious, is there a way to plan a rafting trip on a river you're unfamiliar with?
For a little background as well, I am by no means an avid white water rafter, or particularly involved in this sport. I have grown up rafting the deschutes pretty much every year and have guided the boat since I was about 16. Though I am not an expert by any means, I am familiar with it and am interested in the potential options rafting brings to the table for the back country.
Looking for the best river to rent a raft or tubes and leisurely float and drink beers on in montana, idaho, or wyoming at the end of july and outfitters who rent/transport
We have been looking forward to our Idaho rafting trip for a year now…. From what I understand, the salmon river is unique and somewhat less affected from the drought that occurred over much of the west this winter?
Anyways. I just want to manage my expectations- we have a family trip in late July (we have little people going, 7) which is why we chose a later date.
What can we expect water wise this year? Thanks in advance!! Any other fun tips or recs are appreciated as well. We are using ROW.
Hello, we have been making these upgrades for friends and family for some time now. We have found it to be so much more reliable than a jam cleat. This one works with the almost all NRS anchor systems, and we have done special requests for other setups. If you're interested or have any questions message me or visit laneprofab.com

Hi! I’m an experienced backpacker (I’ve hiked over 600 miles solo) and looking to try a multi-day raft trip (I’ve done several floats, but never overnight). I want to do a multi day trip somewhere in the West US and looking to get some recommendations! I’m open to traveling anywhere on the west coast/Colorado/utah. I don’t want to do a guided trip but would rather start with an easy multi-day float without any large rapids. What rivers/sections might be a good fit? I would need to rent a raft and other necessary gear specific to rafting.
Anyone know of such a thing for shuttles and what not?
