Snake River Jetboat Adventure
June 16, 2019“Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was cut by the world’s great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time. On some of the rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words, and some of the words are theirs.
I am haunted by waters.”
― A River Runs Through

The ride down Snake river was 6 hours. After 3 hours we stopped on a self-sufficient orchard and with a beautifully packed lunch, followed by some exciting level 2 and 3 rapids. The two smallest family member our granddaughters Leila 3years old one Breezy 18-month-old did amazing on this very long day on the speed boat. Leila even got a chance to drive the boat for a while. We learned about the great flood and how it formed the landscape in the canyon, to the stories about chief Joseph and how he got his people across the snake river with great casualties, for relocation forced by the federal government, to wildlife in the area and of course fishing. We even got to witness a catch and release of a 7 foot Sturgeon
