Embrace the Wilderness: Mackay Bar Ranch Getaways
Weekend Getaways from Boise: Escape to Mackay Bar Ranch
As summer beckons with its promise of warm sunshine and clear skies, the lure of escaping the daily grind grows stronger. This June, those living and working in Boise Idaho have the perfect opportunity to immerse themselves in the pristine wilderness of Idaho without straying too far from home.
Mackay Bar Ranch, nestled on the Main Salmon River in the expansive Frank Church “River of No Return” Wilderness, offers two distinct weekend getaways that promise adventure, relaxation, and a touch of luxury away from the city’s hustle and bustle.
June 21-23: ATV & Jetboat Tour
Kick off this first weekend event at Mackay Bar Ranch with an exhilarating ATV or Side by Side Adventure and Jetboat Tour.
This adventure begins in the remote town of Dixie, Idaho, where guests can unload their personal dirt bikes, UTVs, or ATVs. A historical gem, Dixie was founded on August 24, 1862, when gold was discovered in Dixie Gulch. From Dixie, adventurers will travel through the Gospel Hump Wilderness Corridor on well-defined dirt roads, descending into the breathtaking Salmon River Canyon. The journey culminates at Mackay Bar Ranch, a historic site perched along the River of No Return, where luxury accommodations and hearty meals await. DETAILS HERE
June 28-30: Sawtooth Winery Couples Trip
Or select our event the following weekend. Couples can indulge in a romantic retreat with the Sawtooth Winery Couples Trip. This getaway pairs the rugged beauty of Idaho’s backcountry with the refined pleasures of wine tasting. Couples will enjoy a magical jetboat ride from Vinegar Creek along the Salmon River, savoring the fresh, pine-scented air and the stunning scenery. At Mackay Bar Ranch, a private sommelier will present an array of Sawtooth wines, perfectly paired with sumptuous meals served in the main lodge. The soothing sounds of the Mighty Salmon River create a melodious backdrop for an intimate, memorable weekend. DETAILS HERE.
