Aviation Services

Boating in Idaho’s Wilderness Areas often involves wild logistics. Aviation and Flying Services are a major piece of the logistical puzzle, and frankly, are an amazing way to see the Wilderness Area before or after your multi-day river trip. The Outfitter-Owners of Salmon River Transportation Company have decades of experience running trips in Idaho, and have spent many hours looking down upon the Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness Area! Below are a few of our trusted aviation partners.
