We had a nice wooden boat tour down Snake River and came out with a great report for our nature mapping this week. We have compiled two ample lists for the river and the Tipi camp – check them out below. The total species count for both properties was a cool 51! May is giving us a great opportunity to check out some wildlife, so click here to get in touch with us and book a trip down the river.
