Overview
The Bruneau and Jarbidge Rivers are two of the most remote and fleeting canyonland rivers in the West. They can be run only for a few months each spring from April to June. If the previous winter was dry, the season may last only a few weeks. But the rivers, often run together, are worth the effort to find them. The 50-mile-long Bruneau is a small river that squeezes through a narrow and deep canyon. In places it is only two boat lengths wide, with water filling it from wall to wall. The rapids include Five-mile, which drops 100 feet per mile for nearly five miles. The 25-mile Jarbidge is steep and beautiful. The rapids are choked with boulders. Expect to bounce off a few rocks.
