Barker River Expeditions

An April East Fork Owyhee was something I’ve lusted after for years. As an experienced rafter and private guide, I still wanted to go down with someone to show me the way. Barker is hands down the most experienced and knowledgeable guide to the upper reaches of the Owyhee. Our trip was memorable in so many ways: isolation, scenery, wildlife, hiking, magical side canyons, camaraderie, and as challenging whitewater as you will see. Barker was more than willing to share his techniques and wealth of knowledge.nA trip with Barker River Expeditions will be memorable for adventurers of all experience levels.nScott Letourneau, MDnBend, OR

I went with Barker on the Bruneau River this spring. Jon and Shane were awesome guides. They successfully navigated us through some scary rapids without incident!!!! Their knowledge of the area was outstanding. As a guest, the trip was well planned and food was delicious. Scenery on this trip was outstanding. I recommend Barker to folks thinking of rafting with them!

We had a blast on our rafting trip!!!nnA group of 10 girlfriends went on a rafting trip with Jon and it was amazing! We all had fun rafting, swimming, and goofing around. The food was amazing. I don't know how the crew cooked such wonderful meals but, they did. Eating out in the most gorgeous surroundings was something that everyone needs to experience.nnI can't wait to go on another trip with Jon!

Jon runs an exciting expedition that met all of my wishes. Remote, and quiet beauty. Thrilling rapids, outstanding guides who were extremely competent. I am looking at next year for another adventure.

I enjoyed this river trip, I had never done anything like this before. Jon Barker and his guides take great care of you and will show you an adventure you will not believe. Thanks, Warren
