The Snake River,
approximately 20 miles (32 km) south of Grand Teton National Park,
affords vacationers two 8-mile (13-km) rafting choices. The first,
near Hoback Junction, is a scenic float trip along the quiet waters
of Snake that enables guests to relax and  enjoy the mountain
scenery. In addition to daytime trips, several outfitters offer
morning and evening floats so visitors have a better chance to see
much of the wildlife common to the region.
Downstream,
from West Table Creek to Sheep Gulch north of Alpine Junction, the
upper Snake River canyon offers a lively 8-mile (13-km) introduction
to whitewater rafting. Class II-III rapids—Main Line, Three
Oar-deal, Kahuna, Lunch Counter, Rope, Champagne and
Cottonwood—are not difficult and can be enjoyed by families,
seniors, and first-time rafters.
