FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Far and Away Adventures Schedules August and September
Middle Fork of the Salmon Whitewater Wellness Weeks
SUN VALLEY, ID, Feb. 2, 2012 – Known for blending river rafting with
wilderness adventure and backcountry luxury, Far and Away Adventures
(http://www.far-away.com/) delivers “authentic American safaris” that in 2012
include two six-day/five-night Middle Fork of the Salmon Whitewater Wellness
Weeks. Trip dates are Aug. 27-Sept. 1 and Sept. 6-11. The per person rate is
from $2,750.
In an adults-only atmosphere, private wellness and fitness counseling and
activities will be led by Margie Caldwell Cooper, a fitness educator, relaxation
trainer and former competitive swimmer from Santa Barbara, CA, who was
designated Aquatic Exercise Association Global Fitness Professional of the Year
in 2006.
In a pristine riverside setting, Caldwell will introduce new and advanced
stretching techniques and lead daily warm-up and yoga sessions before each
active day on the river. Morning guided hikes to enjoy scenery and view
petroglyphs increase participant’s endurance and cardiovascular fitness.
Personalized stretch sessions and kinesthetic awareness activities drawn up by
Caldwell after individual assessments will give each guest a specific
individualized program for improved posture and increased flexibility and range of
motion. Massage and bodywork sessions in the ambience of the quiet river
evenings will loosen joints and lengthen muscles, improving posture and
balance.
Far and Away Adventures hopes to appeal to active couples and solo travelers
looking to combine a world-class adventure vacation with a strong wellness
element. Owner and founder Steve Lentz likes to point out that, “this is also
prime time for fly-fishing on legendary blue ribbon waters. A companion who
would rather angle for Westslope Cutthroat Trout will be well accommodated.”
Lentz notes that an experienced angler can bring 100 fish a day to the boat.
The comprehensive program in concert with a world-class river expedition
includes aerobic interval workouts, fly-fishing, soaking in hot springs, wildlife
observation and nature walks, inflatable kayaking, and development of long term
personal fitness agendas. Exercise mats are provided. Additional massage
treatments (one is complimentary) are $50 per half hour and $90 per hour.
Caldwell, a self-proclaimed river rat herself, holds numerous certifications from
the Yoga Alliance and teaches Yoga and Pilates. She also is on staff at the
Rancho La Puerta health spa in Baja, Mexico on a regular basis and offers
continuing education to instructors around the country focusing on bringing core
training and functional fitness into every workout.
As guests work out with Caldwell and play on the river, adventure guides set up
and break down five-star camps along the river. They prepare and serve organic
meals on pre-heated stoneware atop linen-draped tables lit by candlelight while
pouring into crystal stemware wines selected from organic and small-batch
wineries. The guides also arrange solar-generated hot water for showers, and
state-of-art tents with elevated beds, flannel bedding, carpets and nightstands.
Far and Away Adventures has been sharing the excitement of paddling with
adventuresome guests since 1980. Simply, the wonders of nature and those
created by Far and Away Adventures for guests plying these and other privileged
waters create a new category for those who seek experiences above and beyond
the ordinary. Far and Away Adventures’ guests are moved beyond world-class
into a universe where luxury and wilderness blend marvelously together. For a
detailed itinerary on this and other programs on equally privileged waters, please
