| BIRDS OF PREY SNAKE RIVER |
|
This
protected habitat encompasses more than 400,000 acres along
the Snake River. The area is the largest single nesting site
for Raptors, the collective term for eagles, hawks, falcons,
owls, ospreys and vultures in North America. The Snake flows
silently through the 400 to 500 ft. volcanic nesting cliffs
along the banks of the river. The sight of a raptor in its
own environment, plummeting down towards the river in a 70
mile an hour dive at its prey, is a sight to behold. This
is a non-rapids scenic float with fantastic bird-watching,
camping and hiking. We have a limited number of launch dates
as set by the Bureau of Land Management, Boise, Idaho.
Wildflowers
and wildlife abound amid towering redrock canyon walls in
the remote and beautiful High Desert Owyhee Canyons. The river
runs through parts of Oregon, Nevada and Idaho before flowing
into the Snake River above Hell's Canyon. We run two different
sections: the Upper Section is short and steep, 36 miles with
numerous big rapids and a possible portage, previous whitewater
experience preferred. The Lower Section is longer, 65 miles
or so, with lots of nice floating and a few big rapids. Both
sections have strange and beautiful rock formation and canyons.
Both sections have Indian and Historical Sites. The Bureau
of Land management, Vale, Oregon, assigns our launch dates.
