More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You push off where the current loosens and the valley opens: the Snake River threads between cottonwoods and sage, and ahead the Teton Range slices the sky. The float moves deliberately — a slow, cinematic drift that lets you scan river bends for moose browsing the bank and bald eagles quartering the thermals above.
