River Description

Alpine Canyon on the Snake River is one of the classic whitewater runs in the West. No matter what the flows are there is always something to enjoy on this run which features some great playboating. In the spring high flows can produce class IV rapids and some epic bigwater features. Through the summer the river provides consistent class III whitewater that is enjoyed by thousands of visitors who take part in commercial raft trips on the river.
