Rafting Down the Lochsa River

Rafting down the Lochsa River, near Orofino, Idaho

I spent a summer in this area in high school and told myself that I would return to go rafting on the crystal clear water, which I never got to do.  That was fifteen years ago.  This area is beautful though and I would love to return.  Interesting tidbit: the name Idaho derives from the Apache word for enemy... apparently that is disputed, but still taught.
