Our
Roots

Before Outdoor Voyagers

We are a family operated company with roots on the Salmon River going back generations. Before Outdoor Voyagers there was R&R Outdoors. R&R Outdoors was owned and operated by Rob and Rex Black for 20 years before retiring from the rafting industry. Outdoor Voyagers is proud to carry on this legacy. Read the former bios from R&R Outdoors to meet Rob and Rex. If you had the privilege of having an experience with R&R Outdoors share it with us on our contact page.

Meet Rex and Rob

Rob Black

"HELLO! I'm Rob Black. For many years my family has enjoyed rafting, canoeing, hiking, hunting, and all outdoor life. Early in life I learned that sharing multiplies the enjoyment of nature's wonders. Share in a raft experience and Float the Mighty Salmon."

Rex Black

"Hi! I'm Rex Black. We've probably met along the trail or river during my many years of Scouting, or as a Forester, Conservationist, or Outdoor Recreation Manager. We have probably worked and played together in camps, forests, mountains, and rivers across this great land of ours. I invite you to Float the Mighty Salmon!!"
