I told them that it was my first time so they gave me a super friendly horse. They even put me in the front behind out guide. Our guide was super friendly and talked to us the whole time. She kept turning her head around to watch us and talk to us. She made sure that we were on straight and helped us get corrected. She taught us a lot about the areas and horses. I really loved that she kept a conversation the entire time. We absolutely loved the views of the mountains, even if it was smokey! I definitely suggest this place because we had such an amazinf time as a family, even if we were super sore after.

Then we realized that we had hiked up to Bench Lakes and saw the trails they rode on with lots of foot traffic and said to ourselves, we dont to deal with that. So we checked out Wild West.

She and her husband and wonderful and you can rest assured you will enjoy your time there. It is beautiful beyond words too. Have fun.

The drive to the ranch was pretty cool - tucked away from HWY 75 - immaculate grounds/stables/corrals with the Salmon River directly behind. Matthew gave us a a refresher and was attentive and throughout the 1.5 hour ride up to the ridge where we had a nice lunch. The ride back provided expansive views. Plenty of photo ops up, on the ridge and back. Plus, Matthew somehow managed to take 50+ photos that he later texted to us. Shelby and Matthew manage a professional and well run outfit.

Anyway the ride was great, scenery was drop-dead gorgeous, and the accommodations were perfect. Every day was different freshly cooked and delicious food.... and way too much too. Lunches and snacks were also provided. Thanks to the multi state fires the first few days were pretty smokey but the weather changed blowing it away. Saw deer, elk, a large cinnamon bear. This outfitter has it dialed in and I will be back. Thanks Jenni, Jerrod, Rick and Liona.

Jerrod, Jenni and Kathi were great from the beginning communicating everything needed for my hunt. They even worked with me when my friend backed out due to a health issue. Everyone was helpful and friendly when I showed up. My guide, Moses, was the best. A true professional, hardworking, knowledgeable, tireless, relentless but still friendly. Moses worked his butt off to get me in range a great deer and did most of the work caping and quartering afterwards. Moses took me farther and higher every day looking to put me on a good buck when the weather didn't cooperate. He tailored my hunt to my abilities and desire. Like hunting with a good friend, maybe better. Worth every dollar, especially when you consider out of state license/tag (without points or draw), lodging, food, horses and a top quality guide who knows the area. Not a hunt for your first hunt, the faint of heart or for someone in poor health. However, if you are looking to actually hunt trophy animals in some of the most beautiful and rugged country around, I believe White Cloud Outfitters delivers. The best people, hunting and country!

Enjoyed Adam and Sahra Beaupre's super friendly and accommodating style so much, I found out Adam also does Horse Creek Outfitters and I couldn't resist a bear hunt on my honeymoon! Wife felt extremely comfortable, safe and taken care of enough to stay back at the inn, laying on the hammock next to the stream while I went on a hunt with Adam's team. Came home with an awesome cinnamon-black bear and a very happy wife! SO IMPRESSED, I AM MAKING THIS TRIP AN ANNUAL TRIP! Even this year with a new baby on the way---I just can't stay away from Challis and all the Beaupres offer!

Justin and DJ spent the time going through the basics for the novices while my husband went ahead and started. All equipment and necessary clothing were provided and made the experience so relaxing. I hate being cold so while possible personally I can't imagine standing in the river without the waterproof waders and shoes/booties. Both Justin and DJ were full of helpful tips. I think we all left feeling successful at the end of our 1/2 day excursion and all are looking forward to the next time we can go.

We had a great experience with the "lunch trip" rafting package. The guides and other staff were…read morevery friendly and everything went smoothly throughout the day. Staff were very conscientious about safety. The lunch was more adventurous than I was expecting--grilled chicken, tzatziki, couscous, and a vegetable salad, with PBJ sandwiches as an option, and ridiculously good, freshly baked chocolate chip or blueberry & lemon cookies. Our guide Joey was knowledgeable and entertaining. During the day we saw lots of wildlife: tons of trout jumping at caddis flies, a mink, deer, merganser ducks, and multiple bald eagles, golden eagles, and ospreys. The river itself is beautiful. A few tips: You can bring additional food or beverages and leave them on the bus, which meets the party at the lunch spot. Several groups rafting with us brought small coolers with their own drinks and snacks. Probably a great idea if you have any food restrictions. It's recommended that you leave any valuables or electronics (or other water-sensitive items) in your car or in a lockbox with the staff. The guides have some limited room in a dry bag for phones or cameras, but it's not the most convenient to be taking a phone out of the drybag and putting it back in. You will not have cell service most of the day anyway, which was actually rather relaxing. Even the town of Stanley doesn't have great cell service in areas, so you may want to set up an "away" or "do not disturb" notice for the day. Sunblock and a hat are helpful; you'll be in the open sun on the water for most of the day. Highly recommend this company for rafting in Stanley.
