The Pahsimeroi to Royal Gorge section of the Salmon River in Idaho is a challenging river run that features Class III-IV rapids and several obstacles, including boulder gardens and technical drops. The best time to float this section is typically in late May through early July when water levels range from 3,000-6,000 cfs. Rafters should be experienced and prepared for a demanding river run with narrow channels and swift currents. The scenery is stunning, with rugged canyon walls and scenic vistas, making this section a popular choice for experienced whitewater enthusiasts.
