It’s The Water!!!!

Idaho Guide Service - Murtaugh Section of the Snake RiverIt is Spring and the water is flowing!!!

The Murtaugh Section is scheduled to be a approximately 6000 cfs beginning this weekend – April 18.

This is one of the best whitewater trips in the U.S. and is a spring-only trip.  Inconsistent flows make running the Murtaugh Stretch  a “get-it” now opportunity.  Idaho Guide Service is the experienced outfitter and guide for your trip.  Schedule now – we have about a 30 day window…it may last longer - that is up to Mother Nature.  The Murtaugh stretch is a strong Class 4+ – 5 section.  There are 16 major rapids in 14 miles; the Snake River at this point drops an impressive 25ft per mile.  Minimum age for this trip is 16 and previous whitewater or a go-for-it attitude is required.

 Also Shoshone Falls is running at about 5000 cfs.  Plan your trip to Twin Falls to see the  “The Falls.”  today.  If you need more information about what is going on click here!

 We’ll see you soon – Happy Spring!!!

It Looks Alot Like Spring!

shoshone-falls-for-whats-going-on.JPGIt is beginning to look alot like spring!  It is sunny today and maybe it is time to put away the winter stuff and lighten up for spring!

Over the weekend, the neighborhoods were full of spring noise….lawn mowers, trimmers and people clearing away winter – making room for a new season.  The trees are starting to bud out and the daffodils are blooming….what a welcome sight!

It  must be spring because we are starting to field lots of calls as to whether Shoshone Falls is flowing.  The north face is covered- similar to the picture.  However….the “Falls” as we affectionately call this area is home to two parks in one.  Dierkes Lake has a great trail back to the Hidden Lakes….you can fish and there is a picnic shelter.  Shoshone Falls proper has an area to launch your boat and if you are brave enough to ski this early – go for it!  The Centennial Trail is a 1.4 mile paved  trail and will take you along the canyon to the top of the rim.    On a clear day you can see forever…it is a great view of the Snake River and the surrounding landscape…plus it is just fun to walk the trail on a spring day.You can view the Evel Knievel launch site from the Centennial Trail – remember it is on private property – please respect this!

You can plan to play with us this year by viewing the Travel Casts for the area – this will give you a taste of what there is to see and do! 

 Happy Spring – be safe and we’ll see you soon in Southern Idaho
