Hey all,
We had a great two day raft (same stretch, different lengths) on the Snake a few weeks ago. The first day we went high and floated for about 7 hours total with plenty of time to chill out on the shore. The second day we put in just above all the guided tours and hit the main drag again. We took out at Sheep Gulch both days.
Standing and then swimming Lunch Counter was a highlight. Three bad rope throws (3 different boats) after my cliff dive was the sketchiest part. After the cliff jump, there is a pretty wild eddy that you can't swim through. If you miss the rope toss, you go pretty far down the river and through some rapids before anyone could catch up with you. I was able to swim to one last rock outcrop a ways downstream before taking the long swim!
