Our June 3-7 Middle Fork trip just got off the river. We enjoyed big water, tons of hiking, running, exploring, and fun camp time. What a way to kick off our season.

The IRJ crew just got off a training trip. It was amazing to see all of the powerful and dynamic changes in the upper canyon. This trip was a reminder of how special a free-flowing river like the Middle Fork truly is. We're excited for the upcoming season!
