A Week in the Wilderness, Main Salmon River Rafting

Marie Kellner, in her recent blog post, asks the following in her thoughtful writing:

A question that our floating family often pondered was “why?” Why is wilderness important? Something deep inside me calms once I am in the mountains or on a clear, swift river.”

main salmon river Marie recounts her time on the Main Salmon River Rafting trip with SOAR Northwest and the Idaho Conservation League for the second year in a row. The week long, family rafting trip offered up hard working and likable river guides who did their best to: keep everyone safe, provide tasty meals, enjoy fun white water and find incredible views.

Main Salmon River Rafting as a conservation effort

Something that made this trip stand out, continues Marie, is that the reason the ICL and Soar Northwest joined together for this rafting trip, was the importance of conserving our wildest places. The Main Salmon River was designated as wild and scenic in 1980 and continues to be a special place where we can glimpse the habitat as pristine and untouched as it is for the variety of wildlife that live there.

Her daily worries disappear as she spends this important time disconnected from our modern world and is able to calm her mind.
