Orange Torpedo Trips, which runs inflatable-kayak and raft trips on the Rogue in Oregon and the Salmon in Idaho, is taking interest for the 2027 season and beyond for both first-year and experienced river guides. The 2026 Oregon roster is already full, so current applicants are being routed to next year. Applying means filling out the short Google Form linked from the jobs page and then sending a resume, cover letter and references to the Idaho manager (fred@) or the Oregon manager (joe@). The page does not publish pay, housing or certification requirements, so expect those to come up in the interview. Shuttle-driver openings are handled separately through the Whitewater Cowboys site.
