For over 30 years, Rawhide Outfitters, under the devoted guidance of the Cranney family, has been a beacon for adventure seekers. Established in 1989, the Cranneys built Rawhide Outfitters on a foundation of unwavering commitment to their customers and a passion for the great outdoors.
In a recent decision, the Cranneys opted to direct their attention toward enhancing their other outdoor adventures that they continue to offer. These include guided fishing trips and smooth scenic floats, both on the beautiful Salmon River, along with Trail rides/Pack trips and full service quality hunting trips. This choice was driven by a commitment to prioritize and further develop these adventures, reflecting their dedication to excellence and marking a strategic move to focus on aspects of their business aligned with their vision and values.
