There's a moment as a parent where you realize your version of adventure doesn't have to shrink; it just has to shift a little. Idaho's rivers make that easier than you'd think with wide stretches of calm water, splashy (but manageable) rapids, and guides who know how to read both the river and the people in the boat.  Bringing a kid along doesn't mean dialing it down; it just means doing it right. Here are three tips for bringing kids on an Idaho rafting trip.

From rivers that run wild to canyons that stretch deeper than you'd expect, Idaho doesn't just tell you what it is; it shows you. Hells Canyon Is Deeper Than the Grand Canyon Did you know that Hells Canyon drops over 7,900 feet at its deepest point? That's approximately 1,900 feet deeper than the Grand Canyon. But don’t just take these fun facts as proof; explore this vast gorge yourself! On any Snake River rafting tours , you can cut directly through the deepest point in the canyon while you “ooh” and “aww” at the sheer cliffs that rise on both sides. The Salmon River Still Runs Wild, Dam-Free Believe it or not, the Salmon River still runs free as one of the longest und...
