Music and Rafting

Our Idaho Music and Rafting Trips

Our “Pickin’ On the Salmon” music and rafting trips feature select musicians such as Tim Bluhm and Greg Loiacono of the Mother Hips, Todd Sheaffer of Railroad Earth, Bill Nershi of Stringcheese Incident to name a few, and sometimes full bands such as the Infamous Stringdusters, Hot Buttered Rum, Frank Solivan and Dirty Kitchen, and Cabinet to name a few. Regardless of the musical makeup the guests quickly fall in love with this added special bonus to our normal Idaho rafting trips.

The musicians are full participants in the trip and like all of our guests take advantage of all of the opportunities our river trips offer such as hiking, visiting cultural sites and points of natural wonder, fly fishing for native Westslope cutthroat trout, making new friends, soaking in natural hot springs, etc. The running of the trip is like all of our other great trips, the only difference being we will be treated to professional musicians performing their art in one of the more inspiring places possible, the along the Salmon in the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness Area.
