点评:Myself and three of my best college friends (and one of their sons) of over 40 years, took a six day and five night trip down the Middle fork of the Salmon River with Wilderness River Outfitters during the last week of June in 2025. The weather was perfect with daytime highs between 70 and 85 degrees and nighttime lows between the upper 40's and high 50's with temperatures increasing the further downriver that we went. While the scenery and views were simply breathtakingly stunning and the ride on the water was thrilling at times, but never dangerous, one thing stood out that made this trip a Masterclass in enjoyment for me!
The seven guides from WRO who led and guided us on our journey were all outstanding! They each gently inspired confidence in all of us and shared their expertise not only on the river, but with his their in depth knowledge of local history, geology, entomology and geography. Led by Yonas, the lead guide, Sally, Matt, Cayla, Dove, Jake and Dillon all contributed to making this rafting trip an amazing experience for each one of us! Each of them are consumate professionals both on and off of the water, but they are also extremely affable and fun to be around! Breakfast, lunch and dinner every day were made and served up with fresh foods and prepared with care by seasoned cooks (all of our guides) and they were all delicious with a different menu every day! The Middle fork of the Salmon river is the same river for all of the outfitters who provide trips down its course. However, it is the friendly, petsonal and yet professional experience provided by the wonderful guides and support staff of WRO, who all combined to make this trip an amazing memory that I will never forget!
翻译:2025年6月的最后一周,我和三位相识40多年的大学好友(还有他们的一个儿子)跟随荒野河装备公司(Wilderness River Outfitters)沿着萨蒙河中汊进行了六天五夜的旅行。那天天气非常好,白天最高气温在70到85华氏度(约21到27摄氏度)之间,夜间最低气温在40到50华氏度(约4到10摄氏度)之间,而且越往下游走,气温就越高。虽然沿途的风景和景色美得令人窒息,水上漂流有时也很刺激,但并不危险,但有一件事让我印象深刻,让这次旅行成为了一次大师级的享受!
带领我们旅行的七位来自荒野河装备公司的导游都非常出色!他们每个人都温柔地鼓舞了我们所有人的信心,不仅分享了他们对河流的专业知识,还分享了他们对当地历史、地质、昆虫学和地理的深入了解。在领队Yonas的带领下,Sally、Matt、Cayla、Dove、Jake和Dillon都尽心尽力,让我们每个人都拥有了一次难忘的漂流之旅!他们每个人都是水上和水下的专业人士,而且非常友善,相处起来非常有趣!每天的早餐、午餐和晚餐都由经验丰富的厨师(我们所有的导游)精心烹制,食材新鲜美味,而且每天都有不同的菜单!对于所有提供沿途漂流服务的旅行社来说,Salmon河的中叉其实是同一条河。然而,正是WRO优秀的导游和支持人员提供的友好、个性化且专业的体验,让这次旅行成为我永生难忘的美好回忆!
