(HealthNewsDigest.com) – As winter snows melt away and warm days entice Americans to the great outdoors, floating down a wilderness river is very appealing to the adventurous. The spring and early summer offer some of the best kayaking and rafting. Water flows are higher this time of year, so shooting down a favorite river will mean fewer exposed rocks and faster runs. A favorite sand bar may be gone or moved by the spring runoff, but it’s all part of the great outdoor scenery that makes the experience worth the long winter wait.
Don’t miss the excitement on one of America’s most renowned river trips, Idaho’s Salmon River. The Main Fork of the Salmon is commonly called the “River of No Return.” With some of the best white water and most austere scenery there is anywhere, this trip should be run whether in a kayak, or a raft, just don’t miss it. The class III and IV rapids will test your abilities and create an unforgettable experience. Trips can be found for both camping and lodging. For the creature comforts of a hot shower and a cabin, choose the lodge trip. The Middle Fork of the Salmon is a bit more remote and lodges are harder to find, so be content with camping on this leg of the Salmon. Also it is a bit more technical is spots as the river channel can be narrower with a few more rocks to navigate. The mountain peaks reach nine thousand feet and the surrounding basin drains fourteen thousand square miles into one of the deepest gorges in North America!

In addition to serving as the founder and president of Glaze Capital Management, Glaze is a financial columnist for the Nob Hill Gazette and The Los Altos Town Crier.
