In 1999 eight of us flew into Stanley before our flight into the head waters of the Middle Fork of the Salmon. The middle fork is the first river protected after Congress passed the wild and scenic river act in 68. We had a five day float trip, no trace camping, the fishing was unbelievable mostly cutthroats the flight in was very memorable, the plane was so small I think it had tires off a wheelbarrow, from the plane you weren't able to see out of the canyon, at times it was like flying in a dead end tunnel. Cheap trip, I think it was 1200.00 for the flight in and float with great meals and fantastic scenery.
