UTV/ATV & Jet Boat through TWO of Idaho's Wildernesses!

"This trip is adventurous, educational and unlike any other weekend getaway you typically get to do with your ATV's! Idaho is so unique in that it holds multiple wilderness segments, public land access, and grandfathered ranches and homesteads (as well as backcountry airstrips) that the public is still allowed to venture through via jet boat. Explore whats in your own backyard - all in one adventure packed weekend with awesome accommodations!
