River Rafting Trips in Idaho, Oregon and California
ECHO River Trips has been in business for over 35 years! It was started by Joe Daly and Dick Linford, two teachers who loved rafting and wanted bring friends along on trips. The mentality is still the same today: guides, managers, owners who love rafting and rivers and want to share their passion with other people.
The purpose of this lens is to put several different media in one place and make them more accessible: Youtube videos, flickr photos, our blog: ECHO - The Latest Word, and some extras that are just goofy and fun. Hope you enjoy!

River Links
- National Park Service
- The National Park Service Gives a brief overview of the Middle Fork of the Salmon River.
- Salmon-Challis National Forest Service
- This site offers information about getting permits if you are interested in going on a private trip. It can also give you an idea of how tough it is to get a permit on the Middle Fork of the Salmon. There are only 2-4 private trip launches each day throughout the season which makes it pretty competitive to get a permit. Many people, even those who are boaters, would rather have other people do the hard work for them (gear, cooking, put-in, take-out, cleaning, setting up camp) and spend their week of vacation enjoying the canyon.
