Barker River Expeditions in the News
These rivers drain one of the most rugged, remote, and
spectacular high-desert plateaus in North America, flowing through an
incised network of canyons and desert
gorges in Idaho, Oregon, and Nevada.
Your wilderness experience is peaceful and relaxing, as no motors are allowed
on any of these river sections. We design our river
trips to limit our encounters with other groups, allowing you to enjoy these
pristine wild
canyons with a minimum of human contact.
as the Grand Canyon and the Middle Fork of the Salmon in Idaho, where you share the river with dozens
of other people each day! The Owyhee and Bruneau Canyonlands simply offer a sense of solitude and
serenity rarely encountered in one’s lifetime.
Join Barker River Expeditions this spring and summer on two of the most exciting rivers I have experienced anywhere! I have guided river trips all over the American West and the world, including in Peru, Chile, Africa, and Costa Rica. The Owyhee and Bruneau continue to draw me back again and again.
These rivers are our specialty. We have designed unique boats that allow us to run the rivers later in the season than other outfitters. This allows us to conduct our trips at a time when we will not only encounter fewer people, but enjoy warmer weather. My commitment to you is to outfit and guide the finest river expeditions available. We promise expert guides, first-class service, and a spectacular experience in a pristine setting with memories that are guaranteed to last a lifetime!
