Snake River Wildlife Float Trip

Another great week floating the Snake River! Below you will find the checklists for the June 2nd Snake River wildlife float trip and camp totals. We had 40 species of birds and 3 species of mammals and 1 species of snake on the river and 30 species of birds in the camp. A very good day, even with high water.

Cassie and Len did a FABULOUS job getting us into eddies and anchoring so we could scope out the eagle nests. Sad part of the day is hearing that one of the moose we saw close to the put-in area was later hit by a truck after being chased out of the woods by on-lookers! We should also consider the snake a fatality since it was fighting with a Common Raven as the bird was flying away with it. Thanks everyone for your assistance and your enthusiasm!

    Morning float with tons of wildlife!

    "We had a very scenic float down the river in the early morning. Saw tons of wildlife, birds, even a mother moose and her calf! The fast waters were no problem either. Hot tea and blankets were provided as well, so our cold morning was still comfortable."

    Beautiful trip!!

    "My family and I (10 of us - all adults) did the float and dinner tour and had an outstanding and memorable trip! We saw lots of wildlife, the crew was great, and the dinner at their 'camp' was the highlight of our vacation to the Jackson Hole area. If you are looking for a great trip I highly recommend!!"

    Was that a dream?

    "Friends and I shared a magical experience on a horse-drawn sleigh to tipi camp along the Snake River in mid-December. The warm food, the rustic ambience, and the soft falling snow made for a quintessential winter afternoon. At the conclusion of our experience, the little boy with us turned to his mom and said, "Mommy, was that a dream?" Need I say more. A must-do."

    “Vintage Jackson Hole river experience!”

    We spent 2 hours on the river and 2 hours in the riverside camp enjoying a hand-crafted outdoor experience. Thanks to A.J. and Kevin for sharing their stories, history and wildlife along the snake river.
