Customizing a Menu:

We’ll also have everyone in the group fill out a food questionnaire to make sure everyone’ll be full and happy on the river trip.

How your food gets packed:
You bring the hard goods (coolers and dry boxes) and we’ll provide plenty of food to keep you full and happy on your river trip.
All refrigerated and frozen food will be chilling waiting to be put into your coolers, while the dry goods will be packed and organized into cardboard boxes by day.
Need coolers? We have coolers available to rent for $10/day.
Pick up and dropping off:
Pick up’s: Food pick ups can be scheduled the night before or the day of your launch. The pick up location is at 85 S Superior St in Cambridge, ID right in town on the main Highway 55 before you head into Hells Canyon. There is plenty of street parking for vehicles and trailers.
Not passing through Cambridge? We also deliver food to the Hells Canyon Dam or Whitebird, ID. Give us a call to chat details and pricing!
Drop off’s: If you bring your own coolers and gear, there may be no need to drop anything back off in Cambridge. If you will be passing Cambridge post-trip, we’ll pack you with the most reusable and environmentally friendly containers we can. If you’re not passing Cambridge, we’ll pack you with single use items and you won’t have anything to return.
Did you rent a cooler? Those will need to get back to Cambridge. If you’re not heading our way, we’ll work with you to make the return as easy as possible.
