About This Tour
Named for its strong currents and difficulty of traveling upstream, making it impossible for early settlers to return to their starting point. The name has stuck and now serves as a symbol of the river's wild and untamed nature. It's a true test of adventure, but with all the amenities and safety measures in place, you'll be ready to embark on a true adventure! The river cuts through the largest wilderness in the lower 48, creating a ribbon of emerald green surrounded by towering peaks. With a rich Native American history, whose historic presence can still be seen along the river in a land that hasn't changed since maps were made. From navigating rapids to exploring sandy beaches, every day is filled with excitement. Take a soak in natural hot springs, visit a mountain man's abode, and enjoy stargazing under the open heavens. Spend evenings around the campfire for games and bonding, creating memories that will last a lifetime. You will be eager to return to the River of No Return.
