Dear EXPLORERS Travelers and Friends,

We are excited to announce another alumni whitewater adventure. We invite you on an incredible five day, 72-mile river journey down the famous Salmon River in Idaho. This is a unique opportunity to travel with a small group of University of Illinois alumni on an exclusive wilderness adventure.

The Salmon River is an amazing backdrop to one of the West’s classic whitewater river journeys. Canyon walls carved over millions of years hide quiet pools that separate numerous Class III rapids with names like “Lorna’s Lu-Lu” and “Bodacious Bounce.” Our small group floats in rafts with experienced river guides while more adventurous souls can navigate the rapids in their own inflatable kayaks. Our journey includes two nights at the riverside Little Salmon Lodge, four nights of beach camping and five days of exciting Class III whitewater. This adventure is appropriate for anyone seven years and older and is ideal for beginners and seasoned rafters.

Our outfitter for this adventure is Northwest Voyageurs. They have 29 years experience in running the highest quality outdoor adventures. We chose to work with Northwest Voyageurs due to their exceptional customer service, highly experienced and professional guides, and their commitment to provide the University of Illinois Alumni with the best outdoor adventure vacations anywhere. They are available to answer any questions you may have on these adventures, so please feel free to call them at (800) 727-9977.

We hope you will join us on this outstanding outdoor adventure and look forward to hearing from you! We do recommend early reservations as space is very limited on this journey.

In the spirit of adventure,

Loren R. Taylor
