Salmon River Wilderness Cuisine and Meal Plan

Presenting, healthy and delicious, taste bud tantalizing food and beverages for your Middle Fork of the Salmon River Wilderness Adventures!

Our river menu will be prepared before you at the river’s edge. We create dishes using the kitchen ensemble that travels the river with us.

Guests may watch, while guides utilize the open fire, Dutch ovens, and their wilderness kitchen. We provide dining tables and chairs, cups, real plates, and silverware to enhance your wilderness cuisine.

For your comfort and pleasure there will always be plenty of liquid refreshment available at no extra charge:

Name brand soft drinks, juices, drink mix, Idaho wines (served with most evening meals), fresh water, and plenty of ice. When you are at camp in the evenings and mornings, hot drinks such as coffee, tea, and hot cocoa will also be available.
