Overview
Experience the spring green-up in America’s deepest gorge. Highlights include vibrant wildflowers, spring waterfalls, herds of Elk, diverse geology, and snow-capped peaks in the distance. Hike along the Snake River Canyon before climbing steep slopes to our beautiful base camp in a grove of Old Growth Ponderosa Pine. This trip is truly unique, and its lower elevations allow us to visit Spring Creek in April and May while the High Country is still buried in snow.
2026 dates coming soon! Check back later.
