(Newswire.net — April, 5 2013) Stanley, ID — Depending on water levels, White Cloud Rafting Adventures will begin to take rafters down the Salmon River for the season May 15 – 25, 2013.

The one day river rafting you can get a true feeling for “river time” yet be back in Sun Valley for dinner. The half-day is their most popular trip which begins north of Sun Valley at the Elk Creek launch site.
Between the rapids the guides share stories, educate about local wildlife, and take in some astonishing scenery. At the finish there is a (thrilling) three-quarter-mile stretch of class 3 rapids nicknamed “The Narrows”. And after the rapids there is a stop at a place called Jump Rock for a refreshing swim in a deep, clear swimming hole. Then after enjoying some snacks and beverages there is the move on to end the rafting trip.
