Dressing safely and comfortably (not to mention fashionably) for river trips is a challenging task. It is very important and should not be taken lightly.

On the Middle Fork of the Salmon, it is usually very warm and comfortable, but you should be prepared for rain. Early season trips (late May and June) should be well prepared for cold weather and rain. No matter when you go, we recommend that you prepare yourself for three basic scenarios:

1. A cool day on the river
2. A warm day on the river
3. Time spent lounging in camp

During the summer months (July and August), the Rogue and Tuolumne can be quite warm and rain is rare. We recommend preparing for the following three scenarios:

1. A warm day on the river
2. Time spent lounging in camp
3. The remote possibility of cold weather or rain

Take care of these, and you are free to let the river and the canyon work their magic.
