Publisher's Summary:
An exciting, fun and humorous family adventure vacation story. A wild and challenging raft trip my children and I took through the River of No Return Wilderness in Idaho on the Middle Fork of the Salmon River.
From planning for the trip, travel by small plane, fascinating river guides, and a mixed bag of clients, to running white-water rapids, spills and thrills on the river, wildlife encounters, camping, hiking, and forest fires, the story tells how our family rose to the challenge and grew from the experience.
Set in one of the great remaining wilderness areas of the United States, the story evokes the sights, sounds, smells and feelings of being on the Middle Fork of the Salmon River. You will see the breathtaking vistas, hear the thundering rapids, smell the campfires, and feel the splash of cold water from the white-water rapids drench your body.
When you are done listening to the story you will probably get the itch to raft the Middle Fork too!

Read this before you sign on for a raft trip.
Glad I read this! Now I don't have to wish I had gotten out of the oar boat into the ducky! Our family went on a day trip in an oar boat and I always wondered if we should do more. Now I know we aren'tRafting the River of No Return Wilderness - The Middle Fork of the Salmon Riverup to it. The author must have taken notes every evening after getting off the river to have detailed every rapid so well. He combines the affectionate and humorous memoir of his family adventure with historical anecdotes about the area which are very interesting. Highly recommended.
More trip diary than river guide
Bought it as prep for our own trip down the Middle Fork but didn't find it to be very helpful for learning about the river and the various drops. If you've never rafted with a commercial outfitter, this book does a good job of describing the experience so it could be helpful for someone trying to decide "Is this type of trip for me?". Sort of like watching someone's slide show.
Great Read
This is a great read for anyone who believes that life should be an adventure. One father and two teens having an amazing experience in the wilderness. Who knew it was even possible in today's techno-obsessed society? The descriptions will make you believe you could do it too.
Rafting the River of No Return Wilderness
What a fun read! The author lays out the trip preparation and rafting in easy to understand, fast reading prose. Read this book before you try a rafting adventure. You'll be better prepared and more experienced without getting wet.
