Sometimes called the Sistine Chapel of western canyonlands, the Bruneau is one of Idaho's best-kept whitewater secrets. The river flows through a dramatic, sheer-walled canyon that captivates the soul. Within the canyon walls mountain juniper grows, along with sagebrush, willow, hackberry and numerous grasses. During the rafting season desert flowers are in full bloom, painting a rainbow of color along the canyon floor. The rapids are exciting. Numerous Class III-IV drops keep everyone on their toes. On the last morning you run the impressive grand finale - "Five Mile Rapids". ROW's small oar-rafts maximize the excitement, and for more active folks, they take paddle rafts and inflatable kayaks. Between the rapids, you can enjoy the abundant bird life - golden eagles, hawks, falcons, Canadian geese, teals, and songbirds. You may also see beaver, otter, coyote, deer, muskrat, antelope and desert big horn sheep. Native Americans have lived in this canyon for at least 9,000 years. Numerous petroglyphs and other evidence is found along the river's banks. Recorded history of the region began in 1812 with the first explorations by white men. Old stone cabins and homesteads wait your visit - with stories ready.
