Our days on the river start out with hot coffee from our 2.5 gallon aluminum coffee pot, check out the video here, showing Woody spinning the coffee to compact the grounds at the bottom after brewing over an open flame. After coffee is served, with all the fixings (including organic creamer), we serve a hot breakfast with fruit, homemade granola and Greek yogurt. Lunch is served buffet “riverside“. We have anything from a deli sandwich set up to a taco bar. Fresh fruit, cold drinks and homemade cookies round out the meal. Our guides will choose a point of interest for lunch, maybe it’s a little old homestead tucked away in the trees or pictographs left from the Nez Pearce Indians. You never know what you’re going to see and our river canyons are brimming with spectacular sights!
