Printed on Recycled Paper Photo by DavidBowersPhotography.com Since 1963 IN GRAND TETON NAtiONAL PARK When you book a Barker-Ewing Grand Teton Park Scenic Float Trip, you’ll float with the best. Way back in 1963, local river runner Dick Barker pioneered the ten-mile float trip from Deadman’s Bar to Moose on the wild and scenic Snake River through the heart of Grand Teton National Park. Within a few short years, Dick’s single raft could no longer accommodate the Dick Barker demand. So he joined forces with outfitter Frank Ewing to create Barker-Ewing Float Trips, and the company earned a lasting reputation for operating safe, high-quality interpretive raft trips in the National Park and the Snake River Canyon. In 1985, the partnership was divided into two separate family businesses: Barker-Ewing Scenic Float Trips and Barker-Ewing Whitewater. Now entering our 57th season, Barker-Ewing Scenic Float Trips remains the gold standard in scenic rafting, and is proud to be an Official Concessioner of Grand Teton National Park.
