“Because it’s ******* fun! That’s why.” — Katie Veteto

Driving sweep down the Middle Fork of the Salmon River is a privilege held by few. It takes skill, courage and humility. Things don’t always go according to plan. But for sweep guide-in-training Katie Veteto, it’s a thrilling opportunity to take part in a time-honored Idaho tradition.

A cinematic love letter to a time-honored Middle Fork Salmon tradition, Driving Sweep follows Katie Veteto as she joins the ranks of Idaho’s sweep boat guides.
