3 Ways College Students Can Decompress in Idaho’s Wilderness This Summer

The spring semester is wrapping up. Whether you’re taking a break for the summer or graduating from college (congrats!), you have one thing on your mind: decompressing. You need to get away from academics, campus life, and the city. You need Idaho’s wilderness.

Idaho offers tons of ways for college students to decompress during the summer. For those chasing thrills, there are 4-day whitewater rafting trips down the Salmon River or the Snake River. There are also more chill adventures. How will you decompress this summer?

An Epic Whitewater Rafting Trip with Camping

May is the start of whitewater rafting season on many of Idaho’s rivers, including the Salmon River and the Snake River. If you want to get away for a few days and don’t feel like planning anything, a 4-day, all-inclusive Hells Canyon rafting with camping trip is the way to go.

Spend the first part of each day crashing through class II, III, and IV rapids. Then make the most of the second half of each day hiking, playing games, or chilling on sandy beaches before camping under the stars. Delicious food is also provided on all-inclusive rafting trips!

A Backpacking Trip Through the Sawtooths

If your idea of decompressing this summer includes exploring some of the wildest and most picturesque terrain in the entire state, this may be the perfect summer for a backpacking trip through the Sawtooth Range in central Idaho.

Many phenomenal alpine trails in the Sawtooth Range become accessible in May, with many more in June and July. These trailheads are easy to get to along Idaho State Highway 75 between Ketchum and Stanley. Just be sure to check the forecast before heading out!

Plenty of Epic Day and Weekend Trips, Too

If you’re an out-of-state student at one of Idaho’s schools, time may be of the essence before you head home. You want a day trip or weekend excursion. Idaho has countless options, including several within driving distance of the state universities.

If you’re in Boise, head down to Bruneau Dunes State Park for sand bodyboarding. If you’re in Caldwell, head to Hells Canyon or the Seven Devils for some hiking. If you’re in Moscow, stop by Dworshak State Park for wild views, nearby beaches, swimming, and plenty more.
