A group whitewater rafts the Snake River.

Last week, we discussed the joys of leisurely floats down the tranquil Teton River. However, for those seeking a more adrenaline-fueled adventure, there’s another aquatic wonder waiting to be explored right here in Teton Valley—the mighty Snake River. With its exhilarating whitewater rapids, the Snake River is a paradise for adventure enthusiasts from all corners of the globe.

Discover the Snake River’s Majesty

The Snake River is not just any river; it’s one of America’s most breathtaking bodies of water, spanning over 1,000 miles in length. It’s a significant tributary of the Columbia River, the largest river in the West, and it winds its way through four states: Wyoming, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington. The Snake River is more than just a conduit for thrill-seekers; it’s also a haven for diverse wildlife. As you navigate its waters, keep an eye out for bald eagles soaring overhead, grizzly bears along the shoreline, and pronghorns grazing in the surrounding meadows.
