📣 “Wow! What an incredible trip for my family of five... We rafted during the first week of August and it was perfect. The rafting was both relaxing and exciting and my kids loved playing on inflatable kayaks, jumping from cliffs, and burying themselves in sand during the lunch breaks. The food was amazing. And the guides - I cannot imagine a better group of guides. Somehow they balanced making us feel safe and protected with keeping us entertained with giving us space to soak in the beauty of the Frank Church wilderness. Every person on our trip expressed sadness when it was over and would have stayed another week (or more!) if we'd had the chance." – Amy K.

Wow, thanks Amy! If you could stay on the river for an extra week, would you? Let us know below! ⬇️

🌿 3 Unusual Facts About the Frank Church Wilderness

Think you know the Frank Church—River of No Return Wilderness? Here are three surprising facts about this vast and untamed landscape:

1️⃣ Holy smokes, It’s bigger than Yellowstone! 🏔️ At 2.3 million acres, the Frank Church Wilderness is larger than Yellowstone National Park—and with no roads, it’s definitely wilder.

2️⃣ The "River of No Return" name is no joke. 🚣‍♂️ Early explorers found that traveling down the Middle Fork was easy, but rowing back upstream? Nearly impossible. The name stuck, adding to the river’s legendary status.

3️⃣ It was once home to secret WWII training camps. During WWII, the U.S. military trained soldiers here in backcountry survival. The rugged terrain was the perfect proving ground for learning how to navigate the unknown.

When you raft with us at Middle Fork Adventures, you’re not just on a river—you’re literally floating through centuries of history, and adventure.
