“What just might be the best commercial rafting company in North America. The trips are spectacular beyond description, the guides are the best of the best, the food is incomparable, and the customers are treated like royalty.”
To all our past and present guests – Thank You! At the end of every year we sift through the emails and the photos from all of you and it never fails to give us goose bumps, it never fails to make us happy (and a little sad), and it never fails to remind us of the power and beauty of our wild places and, even more importantly, of the unique and remarkable people we are lucky enough to spend time with on the river every season.
So, with your continued support, wonderful personalities, and adventurous spirits we will continue to keep and attract the best guides anywhere. We will continue to reshape the way river travel is run and to work towards setting the standard in trip quality and environmental responsibility. And we will continue to run rivers and add adventures that are the best in their class and that are off the beaten path.
To all past and present guests a huge –
“THANK YOU!”

Upper Klamath Day Trips
5"Myself and two friends had the pleasure of rafting the Upper Klamath River for a 1 day excursion. We had Sam as our guide, who navigated the large class 4 rapids with great skill. I would highly recommend this trip for any adventure seekers such as myself! Momentum lived up to their name as a premier guide in the Southern Oregon area!" - Jason
Lower Klamath River Rafting
5"Took my 8th grade class of 12 students on a 3-day rafting trip of the Lower Klamath. Every aspect of the trip was excellent. The guides were admirable, the food and camping arrangements very well-planned, the equipment of superior quality. I received not one complaint from my group of 14-year-olds - that is a tremendous recommendation!" - Nancy Peirce

5"I’ve been in the business world a long time, watching people try and fail to develop a service model anywhere close to what the guys pulled off in the wilderness. For me their kindness and caring made the adventure complete and gave me a satisfaction and long lasting impression that I’ll never forget!" - Rick Veigh

5"Thanks for running an amazing Lower Owyhee trip last week! As the guides on the trip will attest, I absolutely loved the food! I heard from one of the guides that Pete is considering publishing a cookbook. I'd be first in line to buy it!!! Thanks - and see you on the Cal Salmon ASAP!" - JS
Middle Owyhee
5"Hi Pete- We are still high from our trip with down the Middle Owyhee! Being from Alaska we were wondering what the wilderness experience would be like and it was blow-out magical. The portage was something out of some ultimate challenge obstacle course and you all made it look like you do it every day. I would also like to thank you for your careful approach to safety without compromising any fun or sense of adventure. Cool, calm, man of few words, but just enough, Pete, you could also be a floatplane pilot! Our sincere thanks again, to you, Eric, Mike and Sam." - Sam
Lower Owyhee
5"Hi Orea,
YOU were great, as was the whole team. We were talking about your expertise in the kitchen and at the oars. The cushion surf on the prow of Whistling Bird, in combination with the stuffed French toast and the Mole Oatmeal with Chorizo and Poached Eggs, what a combination. You were wonderful. To Lorenzo and his tremendous skill at everything he does, Ben's amazing attention to detail, and gift for teaching, Keith's Sherpa kayak skills, combined with his amazing generosity and humanity, and to my man Andy, who set my tent up at every camp, worked every moment of the trip, and solo boated everything to secure our camp each day, thank you all for a great time. I look forward to my next Momentum trip." - Gary

Lower Owyhee
5"I am normally a Budget Traveller, but splurged on the Lower Owyhee Trip this year. I was so glad I did: Incredibly nice and competent guides helped us keep warm and cheerful even in pouring rain and 25 mph winds . Because they cared for us so well ,we could appreciate the incredible beauty of the river and canyon and everyone of us was so glad we went ( even our nearly 80 year old friend was happy and comfy and dreams of going again. Hurray for Andy, Jessi, Sam, Mike and the entire Momentum Team!" - Martina

Upper Klamath Day Trips
5"My family of 6 (ages 20 to 55) had an amazing 1 day expedition on the Klamath River with Momentum River Expeditions and our guide, Arden. The day started with a winding ride from Ashland to the put in location, where we had a delicious continental breakfast (more than continental really). Wet suits, splash jackets, life vests and helmets were included, so we got dressed in our warm under layers and the rest of the gear and got loaded up. The first several miles of the 17 mile trek was warm up and practice time to get whipped into shape as a rowing team, then the next 7 miles were class 3 and 4 rapids. Tons of fun. The we stopped for an amazing lunch, which was included. After lunch we tackled more awesome rapids and finished up at the take out. Our guide, Arden was fabulous. She knew the river like the back of her hand, and shared cool stories about caves and homes and history along the river. We saw turtles, deer and even 2 ducks riding the rapids with us. Our driver Alan was also wonderful and very informative. It was a great day and one of the highlights of our trip. I highly recommend the Upper Klamath, Momentum, and Arden." - KW
