1/2 Day Nez Perce Crossing Tour

This half day is great for people on the run. If you don’t have the time to spend the whole day taking in the beauty of Hells Canyon; at least get a peak at the splendor while having a fun afternoon. Great for those with very small children and those with pets they have to leave behind.

Dug Bar is the historic location where Chief Joseph led his people from Oregon, across the Snake River, to Idaho. The Chief was leading his people to the Lapwai Indian Reservation per orders from the U.S. Army. The events before and after this crossing led to numerous battles and one of the greatest retreats in military history.

Half Day Trip

Half day trip up Hell’s Canyon with Cameron and Nate was one of the best tours we have ever been on anywhere. They shared history of the entire canyon, made sure everyone on the boat had viewings of wildlife, rock formations, petroglyphs. The lunch spot was beautiful and a great boxed lunch. The list of what to bring on the website was perfect. One of the best family day trips ever for all ages! We will tell everyone they need to go!
