Class 2 on the Main Fork of the Salmon River

The Class 2 rapids were a playful introduction to the river's energy, and we quickly found ourselves sharing the splashes as the raft bounced through the waves. The water was cool and refreshing, sending sprays over the sides as we paddled hard to keep our rhythm. Each wave hit us with a burst of cold, catching everyone off guard in the best way — laughter echoed across the raft as we dodged rocks and maneuvered through the swift water. It was the kind of rapid that had us working together, yet still feeling lighthearted, with just enough challenge to make every splash feel like a victory. The smooth flow of the river soon gave way to more excitement, and we were ready for whatever came next.
