The Grande Ronde is one of Oregon's most beautiful river canyons and a tributary of the famous Snake River in Hell's Canyon. This remote and deep canyon is moderately forested with large meadows and beaches for camping. Photographic opportunities abound in this big game country as the river meanders through the steep canyon, with bend after bend exposing lovely views second to none. The whitewater is mild but consistent and the trip is well suited for families or those who would prefer just to relax and enjoy the sun, majestic scenery and our catered camp cuisine.

 

The weather is typically warm and sunny. Casey always brings his guitar on this trip and encourages other musicians to join the trip. We've had some great concerts and they seem to get better each year. Do yourself a favor and check out of the city and into the woods. You deserve a break and the Grande Ronde adventure will leave you with great memories for a lifetime. Our trips on the Grande Ronde are conducted under a special use permit from Umatilla National Forest.
