best outfitter for middle fork of salmon river????

My hustand and I are arriving in Sun Valley end of July for two weeks and are thinking about taking a 4 or 5 day raftin trip down the middle fork of the Salmon River. We are interested in a good guide but not the most expensive! There are many advertised which makes it confusing.

Also is there is good place to spend the night in Sun Valley when we arrive that is nice but not super $$$?

What other places would you recommend as ';not to miss'; sights or things to do in that 2 week period. We are outdoor people but my husband has lousy knees so we can%26#39;t do long hiking trips!

Thanks.

do you not ;have a place in sv to stay??? and you are in the area for 2 weeks? i would use the middle fork company, they are reputable and do a wonderful trip. ;you could also go to white otter for a day trip out of sunbeam.

i would not miss stanley idaho, danners cabins for sure, redfish lake.

there are lots of wonderful hikes that won%26#39;t hurt the knees. how far can the husband go? we have a fun 2 mile hike, very gentle, to baker lake, or a 4 mile to mill lake, all with streams running along the path.

in sv, there are hot springs, just 8 miles out the dirt road from the warm spring side of the lifts.

take the lift up to the top of the mountain, bring your own picnic, and enjoy the view that we all love.

walk along the river, rent a bike and use our 36 mile (it is straight, as it used to be the railroad) bike path.

there are so many things to do in this area.

Thanks so much for the great ideas! Yes, we love to ride bikes but will be flying so can%26#39;t bring ours. That sounds like a great bike trip. I do have a couple of nights reserved in Sun Valley when we arrive but we planned on driving to other areas nearby. We wanted to see the Sawtooth Mountains, etc. Do you have any other good ideas on places to go. I had friends who also Redfish Lake. I will look up info on Danners Cabins. I am open to anyother ideas you have and will follow up on these.

Thanks so much for your time and thoughts!!

Check out the Sawtooth Mountains and the town of Stanley, Idaho. Both the Middle Fork and Idhao%26#39;s Main Salmon are great extended river trips. Main Salmon trips run through the Frank Church, but have a smaller price tag.
