Guides & Outfitters
here is no doubt about it! Idaho
T
has some of the finest mountains,
rivers and scenic beauty to offer
in the nation. One of the best ways to
take full advantage of the great Idaho
outdoors is through the services of our
highly trained and experienced outfitters
and guides.
Idaho, and Boise in particular, has an
abundance of licensed and bonded
outfitters and guides who offer a variety
of outdoor experience to suit any taste. It
was in Idaho, after all, that Sacajawea
established the tradition of showing
visitors around. The tradition has held
up. Idaho was one of the first states in

the west to establish standards for the
licensing and bonding of its outfitters and
guides.
The following are just some of the
services our guides and outfitters have to
offer:
River Running
Idaho has more miles of whitewater than
any other state in the lower 48, with
opportunity for adventure on nearly
every mile. While the Middle Fork of
the Salmon is the most famous and
offers some of the most adventuresome
river-running, there are many other
rivers which offer special attractions all
of their own. The Payette, the Snake, the
Owyhee and the Bruneau are all readily
accessible from Boise, and the outfitters
and guides have trips available to suit
any time schedule and every taste in
adventure - - from the mild to the wild.

Idaho river.

Guest Ranches

Idaho's guest ranches are nearly all
located in or near wilderness areas.
Surrounded by pristine mountain
scenery, many ranches can only be

fishermen, they are also an excellent
choice for the entire family. The ranches

offer modern comforts in remote settings
with good food, friendly staff and
activities to suit all ages.
Trail Rides/Backpacking
Idaho's outfitters and guides offer trail
rides and backpacking trips into just
about every corner of the state. They are
often combined with fishing, river
running, hunting or trips to guest
ranches. Whichever activity or
combination you might choose, they
offer the opportunity to explore some of
the most spectacular scenery in North
America and the chance to experience
an adventure of a lifetime.
