Barker-Ewing was the brainchild of longtime Snake River guide Frank Ewing, who partnered with the Barker family to open the business in 1963. David Tibbitts is the proud owner who has owned Jackson Hole Whitewater for 35 years. Jeff Tibbitts is the GM and we proudly retain our small company feel.
We are one of the last family owned permitted Jackson Hole whitewater rafting outfits, and we retain our commitment to small trips and unparalleled personal service. Our custom manufactured rafts are roomy and comfortable, and we follow a relaxed pace. We also allow time at the end of each trip for our guests to change into dry clothes for the ride back to Jackson.
Our safety record is outstanding, and we are the only Jackson Hole rafting company with exclusive access to the historic Snake River Ranch (available on our Teton Views Scenic Float Trip). We prepare excellent fresh meals in our commercial kitchen and serve them at one of our private camps along the Snake River.
The heart of what we do is, of course, our variety of river trips. Whether you prefer exhilarating Jackson Hole whitewater trips or scenic Snake River float trips, we have numerous options for you to consider. In fact, you can even have the best of both worlds with our day-long combo trip. Safety is our priority.
For even more fun, consider one of our activity packages that combines a whitewater trip or scenic float with another local activity. Options include wildlife viewing in Grand Teton Park, an afternoon of excitement at Snow King Mountain, or fly fishing with the Jackson Hole Fly Fishing School. We also recommend such additional adventures as horseback riding, biking, and hiking with our local partners and friends.
At Barker-Ewing, we are all about creating memories to last for a lifetime. If you’re planning a big event, such as a family reunion, a youth group trip, or even a wedding, ask us about our group trips! We offer group discounts, as well as a few extras. Give us a call to learn how we can help.

Whatever you’re comfortable in! Wear layers in the morning as it tends to be chilly.
Bring whatever you’d like (change of clothes, snacks & water, towels, etc.) and USE YOUR BUS SEAT AS A LOCKER! Your bus driver will stay with the bus the whole time you’re on the river
Bring your camera and we’ll provide and Bushnell binoculars for you to use! We usually see lots of wildlife like bald eagles and hopefully some big game.
Dress in layers, it’s usually pretty nice on the river, but it is the mountains and we can have an occasional storm pop up. We do have windbreakers for you if needed.
Lunch is provided on ALL of our scenic floats, but feel free to bring snacks.
