Celebrating Mother’s Day, a New Season and Opening Day on the Snake River!

It’s mid May and the days are growing longer. Resident and migratory birds are singing their nesting songs, and a sense of renewal hangs in the crisp Jackson Hole air. Here at Barker-Ewing Scenic Float Trips, the long winter has ended and opening day for our Snake River rafting season in Grand Teton National Park is just around the corner!
Spring is more than a date on the calendar. It is a feeling of warmth and abundance and, what better way to celebrate the season than by treating Mom (or yourself!) to an unforgettable adventure on the Snake River?
Our rafting season starts on May 15th!
The road down to the river has been cleared of snow, and our crew has already been out scouting the river, mapping safe routes, nesting areas, and animal wallows in anticipation of our first float trips. And what better way to celebrate Mother’s Day than by whisking her away from ordinary activities for a special day unlike any other. Picture her soaking in the breathtaking beauty of Grand Teton National Park from a unique perspective – the calm waters of the Snake River. Thank your Mom for all she does with a gift of fresh air, stunning scenery, and the chance to create lasting memories with the whole family.
Our scenic float trips are perfect for all ages and activity levels. As you glide down the river, our expert guides will point out the majestic Teton Range reflected in the crystal-clear water. Keep your eyes peeled for wildlife sightings – moose, bald eagles, and playful otters and industrious beavers are local residents on the Snake River. This park really is Mother Nature’s Masterpiece.
At Barker-Ewing Scenic Trips, we’ve been navigating the Snake River and sharing its magic with families for over 50 years. Our commitment to safety, our knowledgeable guides, and our comfortable custom rafts will ensure that families have an experience that surpasses expectations.
Don’t miss out on the chance to create unforgettable memories this season. Contact Barker-Ewing Scenic Float Trips today and let our friendly staff help you choose the perfect scenic float trip for your family. Spots fill up fast, so don’t delay! Book your family rafting adventure and celebrate spring on the Snake River with Barker-Ewing!
Hello. When do you start booking for June 2025? Thank you.
Greetings, Mary Ellen,
I’m only now seeing your message which you sent way back in November. So sorry to have kept you waiting! We’ll be opening our website for summer float trip bookings tomorrow, Feb 13. Please check back then, and we look forward to floating with you in June!
Best,

Hi,
I have also been anxiously awaiting being able to book our trip for the summer of 2025. I see that now there is a calendar on the site. I am able to select my date (July 10), time (2:00), and 2 adults and 2 children ages 11-15. However, when I select add to cart, the page goes to my cart and says that it is empty. I have tried in Chrome, Safari, and Edge browsers.
Good morning, Heather!
Thanks so much for bringing this booking issue to our attention. I’ve reached out to our tech team, and will let you know what they find out. And I’ll forward your reservation info to our river office, so they can hold those July 10 spaces for you and your family while we work to solve the problem.
Many thanks,
Eleanor Barker
Thank you! I appreciate it 🙂
