A while back in The Nordic Approach, we asked kayak guru Nate Harvey of the Great Glen Outdoor Center about his top paddling destinations. After giving a shoutout to his local New Hampshire runs, Harvey pointed out a world-class kayak and rafting mecca tucked away in the Idaho wilderness: the Middle Fork of the Salmon River.
