Family on Rogue

An ECHO river trip will engage your entire family in a one of a kind, adventurous atmosphere. After the days on the river, children have ample time to swim, run, or explore, while parents can soak up sun, read or hike. One of the best parts of our trips is the quality of family time! Our river guides handle all of the cooking and cleaning providing everyone with a camping experience of a lifetime.

Multiple Boat Options

Kids rafting with ECHO River TripsThe variety of boats we provide encourage various levels of excitement and relaxation. Most guests will try all three types of boats during the trip.

Inflatable Kayaks:These one or two person kayaks provide the biggest thrill and challenge. Be prepared to get wet!

Paddle Boats: These 4-6 person inflatable rafts require teamwork. Guests will paddle through the whitewater with a guide as captain.

Oar Boats: These inflatable rafts provide the ultimate in safety and relaxation. A guide rows with long oars, while guests can watch for wildlife, enjoy the scenery and simply hang on through the whitewater.

Most people try all three kinds of boats. The younger kids can enjoy the kayaks in the calm stretches, and even the most energetic teenagers need to rest in an oar raft some times.

Providing Quality Family Time

Girls on the Middle Fork of the SalmonNothing brings a family closer than days spent braving whitewater followed by camping under the stars. You will be amazed how conversation increases with the absence of telephones, TVs, video games, computers and all other distractions of modern living.

Imagine navigating through a Class III rapid with your son or daughter, pointing out a big horn sheep to your spouse, watching rainbow trout dart through crystal clear water and showing your kids the Big Dipper. Your child’s self-confidence will grow every day as will your sense of adventure. A river trip truly offers a once in a lifetime opportunity to bring families together in a pristine setting!

"The guides are fun, the food is great, and the river is a blast, so altogether this is the best!"
