Immerse in the awe-inspiring landscapes of the American West on this unforgettable adventure! First, you will embark on a four-day, three-night float trip down the Snake River, where you will glide through the deepest gorge in North America. Imagine yourself drifting through breathtaking canyons, surrounded by towering basalt cliffs and vibrant greenery, while enjoying the tranquility of the river.

Then, after your leisurely float, you will trade your raft for a horse and head into the rugged Wallowa Mountains. Spend three days and nights exploring these majestic peaks, galloping through wildflower meadows, discovering hidden waterfalls, and soaking in the breathtaking scenery that surrounds you.

This is a trip that will leave you breathless and craving for more!

HOW TO PACK:

All gear is packed in on mules or horses and we appreciate it if you make an effort to pack light. Suggested weight allowed for each camper is 27 kg. This helps us plan how many pack animals to bring for each trip. If you are bringing more than 27 kg per person we will have to bring extra pack animals and there may be an additional charge.

We limit loads for our pack animals to 54 kg or 27 kg/side. If you have a lot of gear, we suggest you consider packing your loose items in Rubbermaid 14 or 18 gallon totes. Totes are weatherproof, flexible enough to tie on a pack animal easily and are good in your camp to use for tables and to set things on.

Soft items should be in duffle bags.

You might consider a small backpack for lunch and water. We also suggest you tie an extra coat and rain gear on the back of your saddle.

Plan to meet us at the Two Pan trailhead at 10 a.m. unless other arrangements have been made. The Base Camp is approximately a 3 ½ hour ride from the trail head.

There is a spring near the camp but you may consider bringing a filtering device.
