As the deepest gorge in North America, Hell's Canyon offers some of the best whitewater rafting in the world. With a depth of over 7,900 feet, the canyon frames the mountainous border of Oregon and Idaho. This "wild and scenic" designated section of river is the heart of the massive Hell's Canyon National Recreation Area. A float down the river combines the awesome thrill of Class III and IV rapids with impressive scenery and wildlife viewing opportunities. The complex geology of the Seven Devils Mountain Range creates a wonderland of towering basalt cliffs and granite promontories. Nez Perce Indian legend claims Coyote dug Hell's Canyon with a big stick to protect their ancestors in Oregon's Blue mountains from the Seven Devils across the gorge in what is now Idaho.
Hell's Canyon offers not only world-class whitewater with Granite, Wild Sheep, and Waterspout rapids, but also a world-class trout, bass, and sturgeon fishery. Many opportunities exist between the big rapids to cast a line in one of the myriad of pools and riffles. Professional guides are all skilled at putting you into the best fishing water. If you have never caught a fish before, get ready for that to change. Experienced anglers ... prepare for tight lines. Guests can also enjoy hiking, as well as visiting the many cultural history artifacts, from old homesteads to Native American petroglyphs.
Hell's Canyon trips run three to six days in length. They include gourmet meals and deluxe camping accommodations. Custom trips based around the needs of your family, friends, and/or fishing/hunting buddies are welcome.
