It's 2008 and it's time to think about Spring Runoff! One trip we really want to highlight this year is the incredible Owyhee River in Southeastern Oregon. Often referred to as the 'miniature Grand Canyon', the Owyhee is truly one of the great rivers of North America. This desert river is only run during spring when there's enough snow melt to raft. On the flyway, the Owyhee is a paradise for bird watchers and fascinating for the geologist. We will float past towering pinnacles, multicolored landscape and sheer canyon walls rising 1,000 feet from the river. There are many challenging rapids as well as Indian petroglyphs, hot springs, big horn sheep and antelope. This 5 day adventure leaves plenty of time for fishing, hiking, photography, music and campfire camaraderie. Did I mention stellar scenery? The Owyhee trip is specially priced at $800. per person and is easily accessed from Boise, Idaho. Please note vehicle shuttle from put-in to take out is not included. The dates for this year's epic Owyhee River run are April 22 - 26, May 6 -10

NOBODY DOES IT BETTER

At Downstream our first concern is safety and we take pride in the fact that we set the standards our competitors aspire to attain. We don't hire rookie guides and turn them loose with you. Every Downstream river guide is a nationally certified Swiftwater Rescue Technician, not just the trip leader. That's been our policy since 1987. We know how to use rescue equipment other companies don't even carry.

We were the first to introduce self bailing boats with foot cups for extra security in rough water and every raft carries a first aid kit, not just the sweep boat. We provide quality wetsuits for men and women in 25 different sizes. We don't use uni-sex wetsuits, they are not an adequate fit to ensure your comfort and safety.

Few things are as enjoyable and life expanding as a professionally conducted river trip. People need to keep in mind though, that this is not a tourist attraction like Disneyland. This is adventure travel. We treat your fun seriously and to that end we are more exclusive in booking our clientele. If you've never paddled before, are overweight and can't swim, we won't take you and your 10 year old child on a rough whitewater trip, simply because your check clears the bank.

We make recommendations based on 35 years of experience, not the desire to take unwary participants to places they don't belong for the sake of a buck. Remember the Everest expedition! Nature can be indescribably beautiful and heartlessly unforgiving. Unlike the reduced rate, high volume outfitters, we have had the privilege of providing quality river trips with a perfect safety record because we understand and implement risk mitigation strategies from the point of reservation through the trip and shuttle.

We hope you find our candor refreshing and choose to book your adventure with dedicated professionals. We are the "Starbucks" of river recreation, not the "Folgers" and just like everything else in life, you get what you pay for. See the difference our 35 years of experience makes! Raft with Downstream and enjoy the magic of Pacific Northwest Rivers.
