Relaxing rafting trip down the Snake River while enjoythe beautiful sky and sighting bald eagle and a llama was a favorite part of our vacation. Highly recommend.

Fun trip. Although we saw no game animals or raptors, we had fun and enjoyed the views. They provided rain slicks when a thunderstorm hit us too.
