I know at least a few of you have been there and used an outfitter on the Snake River. I have an opportunity to do so in mid July. Does anyone have a favorite outfitter? Low prices for a day trip, all gear provided, maybe a meal? There seem to be eight or ten to choose from.

I'm in the same boat. Hughes is ranked the highest on trip advisor. My son and I are running the 8 mile class 3 section.

My daughter is the instigator of this proposed adventure. I started her canoeing at four years old and have taken her daughter starting at four. "Mad River Outfitters" is the one she pointed to when she brought this up.
Her "plan" is to leave the kids and other family members at home (SW Idaho) and make this a father/daughter trip. Half-day duration, no camping.
Neither she nor I have ever rafted, but from what I have seen, using a commercial guide service there on the 8 mile section used most, no experience is required and the whitewater is mild most of the year.
Prices seem to be in the $75 per person range as best I can tell from websites I have visited.
