Great way to take in the beauty of the Tetons and surrounding areas. Our guide, Peter Ericsson made the trip outstanding! His knowledge of the river, the wildlife and geology... read more made him one of the most informative and engaging guides we’ve had. Definitely a high point for our week!

  The guide was excellent and the whole trip was terrific from start to finish. I will recommed Barker-Ewing to anyone who thinks about making a scenic float in the Tetons.

  We did a 8am float trip in mid September and loved it. It was chilly, but I was prepared with my down coat and gloves. The weather was fantastic... read more with "smoke" on the water, but it lifted and the view of the snow capped mountains was amazing. We also saw wildlife including many eagles and even a moose. Our guide led us expertly down the river and regaled us with stories and information the entire way. It lasted about 2 hours. For those concerned, we did not get wet (which is good when it is chilly) and there is a restroom available at the beginning and end of the trip. I would highly recommend this float trip down the Snake River in the beautiful Tetons.

  Woke up on our last morning in Jackson at the end of our Teton/Yellowstone vacation (see my reviews of the Huff House Inn, Old Faithful Inn, Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel... read more and Cabins, Bin 22 restaurant and Wake Up to Wildlife Tour) with nothing on the books. At the last minute we decided to sign up for a Barker Ewing Scenic Float Trip...fortunately, there was space on the 4 o'clock departure. We were in!

There were six passengers on this float trip, plus Peter the guide/self-described river rat. My husband and I can't say enough about Peter...not only is he experienced with a wealth of information about the river, the Tetons, and the flora and fauna he is welcoming and down to earth with a good sense of humor. What I especially appreciated is the fact that he knew when to share his knowledge with us and when to let the river do the talking. A perfect balance.

The raft was comfortable; because it's meant to hold maybe 12 people, the six of us had plenty of room to stretch out. This time of year, the float trip would be suitable for kids. The 10-mile lazy float took two hours ... in August the Snake River is gentle and soothing. Although we didn't see any moose, there were beaver and a bald eagle along the banks.

Kudos and thumbs-up to Peter and Barker-Ewing for a memorable ending to our vacation. Thank you.
