Outstanding in all Aspects

NWRC was outstanding in all aspects. From trip preparation, pivoting when needed due to mother nature, safety, fun, fabulous food and overall incredible experience. We look forward to rafting another river with Zach and his crew next summer and are already planning and inviting friends and family.

Join us for our annual “Bluegrass on Whitewater” trip featuring Laurie Lewis on the famous Middle Fork of the Salmon River. We have yet to find a better combination than rafting down the river by day and listening to Laurie’s music by night.

Meaningful Memorable Experience

Lots of companies can take you to the river... but NWRC creates meaningful, memorable experiences. Their trips are smooth and extremely well planned. Their guides are consummate professionals, continually perfecting their skills and demonstrating a deep love for nature. The difference with NWRC is the attention to detail exhibited in the menus, activities, and genuine hospitality only available through their wonderful collection of professionals.

Gorgeous Rogue River

I have yet to meet a NWRC guide I wouldn’t want to have as an extended houseguest or join on another river trip. I have such faith in the NWRC guides that when they tell me I can handle something, I know I can. Another perfectly staffed, equipped and managed journey down the Gorgeous Rogue River.

Gold Standard

Difficult to put into words exactly how wonderful the trip turned out to be … above and beyond all expectations. NWRC is the gold standard by which all other outfitters are measured.
