Frank and Patty Ewing

Frank and Patty have been guiding safe, exciting river trips on the Snake River in Jackson Hole since the late fifties.  Their love for the valley and its mountains, its waters and its wildlife, continues to provide the foundation for the family business.

“I was born in this valley and into my family’s business, and I can’t imagine it any other way.  I’ve guided rivers from Alaska to Costa Rica…I love the water, the wildlife and the outdoors.  You can’t beat a Jackson Hole summer, and I invite you to come experience this amazing place I’m lucky enough to call home.”

What we believe?

• We believe in small trips, unparalleled personal service and going above and beyond for a greater overall experience. While we maintain one of the largest permitted outfits in Jackson Hole, we do not believe in overfilling our rafts. We offer custom manufactured rafts that provide not only a seat for each participant but room and comfort for the ride as well.
• We believe in a relaxed pace, not a hurried trip. We believe in going with the flow of the river! Why hurry your experience on the water? In addition, we allow time at the end of the trip for you to change out of your wet clothes for a dry, comfortable ride back to Jackson.

What else sets us apart?

• We have an outstanding safety record. Just ask, or contact the Bridger-Teton National Forest for an unbiased response.
• We prepare excellent meals featuring the finest and freshest meats, produce and ingredients.
• All of our river trip meals are served and enjoyed at one of our two private riverside camps along the Snake.
• Our Teton Views Scenic Float we are privileged to offer is in partnership with the historic Snake River Ranch. It is a trip unique only to us with an exclusive launch and landing that no other outfitter has access to.

We love what we do and it shows!

The Ewing family continues to own and operate this local company. 2010 marks the 47th year!

As we move into our fifth decade, we’re more than ever dedicated to our core principles: close attention to detail, insistence on quality and safety, belief in the wonder of what we offer, and a firm grounding in the reality of the trips we are privileged to share with our clients.  These principles have served our clients, our staff and our family well.  They won’t change.
