Dinosaur rafting

Kiersten Leach

I’m Kiersten! I studied Art History, so now I’m a raft guide. I like sailing, ballet, and hitting baseballs at the batting cages. If I could be doing anything in the world right now, I’d be eating vegetables from peoples’ gardens like I’m Peter Rabbit.

Finn

Fin Coleman

Hello! My name is Finn, I’m born and raised in Boise, ID and I’ve been boating my whole life. I’m a student at Prescott College where I study adventure education. When I’m not working on the river, you might find me in my kayak, on my bike, or giving out free high fives. But you can bet your bottom dollar that I’ll ALWAYS be seshing and chilling. See you on the river WAHOOOO!

Bobbi Hall

Hi I’m Bobbi, an Idaho native with a passion for rafting any stretch of whitewater I can find. Whether I’m navigating rapids, casting a line, hiking through the hills on a hunt, cooking over coals, or tending my garden, I feel most at home in the outdoors. From riverbanks to backcountry trails, my dog Izzy is my constant companion through it all. Rooted in the wild beauty of Idaho, I live for the adventure and simplicity of life outside.

Lilah

Lilah Lerner

Hello! My name is Lilah, and I’m super enthusiastic about working on the Salmon River and living in Riggins this summer. 

I’ve been enamored by the beauty and power of the outdoors for my whole life. I grew up in Telluride, CO, and the surrounding mountains and deserts shaped me into who I am today. I currently study Environmental Studies and Adventure Education at Prescott College in Prescott, AZ, with a concentration in Natural History Interpretation. I graduate in the Spring of 2026. 

I love boating because it brings together elements of adventure, exploration, leadership, and synthesis of the natural world, all of which lead to a deeper understanding of not only the land, but also of ourselves, our relationships, and our position in the universe. 

Aside from rafting, what brings me the most joy is live music; specifically the dead or some bluegrass, hangin out in beautiful places with beautiful people, and living a simple life of laughing and loving!! 

My main goal this season is to have loads of fun, learn and teach a lot, and provide meaningful experiences to those who are looking. 

Thanks for reading, and I hope to see you on the water this summer. 

Cheers, Lilah

Kamree is an Idaho native and has a deep love for everything outdoors; rafting, skiing, fishing, climbing… you name it. She is studying Business Management & Outdoor Recreation at Southern Utah University and is equally at home in the desert or the mountains. She also volunteers with our local Emergency Service to donate her skills as an EMT.

Howard

Howard Vanfleet

Hi, my name is Howard Vanfleet, I’m a retired engineer. I worked for 35 years sitting in an office chair. When the opportunity arose to become a river guide I said to myself “Self, I’m retired and now I can do anything I want”. I love new adventures and I’m happy to add to the list, the newest adventure of being a white water river guide. I’ve fished many places and look forward to having some great fishing times on the Salmon. LET’S GO FISHING!
