Grande Ronde River

Roadless wild and scenic river, buffered by pine and fir forests with layered basalt rims above; the Grande Ronde River has splashy class II whitewater and large tree covered benches to camp on.  A guided Grande Ronde rafting trip is perfect for those who want to experience some of the most scenic camping with great wildlife viewing, but not too big of whitewater.

Awe inspiring geology through the deepest gorge in North America, big whitewater, great hiking trails, and a rich history dating back thousands of years where the history is literally on the canyon walls as we hike along and see Nez Perze pictographs, the remains of Chinese mining claims, and homesteaders cabins.
