In the heart of Idaho lies America's largest (and most breathtaking) contiguous Wilderness area outside of Alaska, The Frank Church – River of No Return Wilderness.

Steep canyons, pristine forests, untouched Wilderness, incredible wildlife, and world-class whitewater rafting comprise this epic 2.3 million acre road-less area.

I first visited the Frank Church - River of No Return Wilderness back in 2016 as part of a filming expedition for the US Forest Service. Along with my brothers and two forest service ranger guides it was the trip of a lifetime.

Our full trip on the middle fork of the Salmon River lasted about a week. We were flown into Indian Creek campground first where we stayed for a few days. From there we were flown up river near the confluence of the north fork and middle fork of the Salmon.

From there we set out on a 4 day rafting trip down the middle fork experiencing all kinds of weather and stunning scenery.

This film was shot in the heart of the remote Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness on one of America's premiere Wild & Scenic Rivers, the middle fork of the Salmon. This short film highlights the unique, rugged beauty of the Middle Fork of the Salmon River and explains the delicate balance between visitors and the wilderness.
