  If you're thinking about booking a float during your visit to GTNP, do it! But do it with Barker-Ewing! I did some research and this was the only float trip... read more I could find that was offering social distancing practices. It also turns out that many of the other local companies float trips originate south of the park. Barker-Ewing float trips are entirely within the park. We booked the 6PM float. We are a party of four - two adults and two kids. Because of social distancing, we had one other group with us – a couple. This meant we had more than enough space to get comfy during the trip. We had one end of the boat and they had the other. Our guide was in the middle rowing and educating us.

Speaking of our guide, we were with Peter and he was amazing. We learned so much during the 2-2.5 hour trip. At one point, my 9 year old son said "mom, I could do this all night". The kids just loved it. He's now decided that he wants the job as a river guide when he grows up 🙂

The trip starts with a short shuttle ride to the launch point within the park. From there, you float 10 miles within the park passing The Grand and looking for wildlife. We saw a moose, countless beavers, bald eagles and osprey.

He was knowledgeable about everything - it gave us a greater appreciation for what we were seeing and experiencing. It is much more than a ride down the river.

  My husband and I had a great time floating down the Snake River with our guide Lynn and another couple. We saw several bald eagles and some moose. ... read more It was cold, but we sat on the carpeted bottom of the raft and Lynn gave us blankets. We felt very spoiled.
