The New River Gorge. I don't know if you'll get much better than that.
That may be a bit too bold. I personally prefer granite routes over 1,000' long. None of that there so in my mind, yes it does get better. I would also say Idaho alone kicks the crap out of the whitewater on the whole east side of the country, then there is Oregon, Washington, Cali, Colorado..... Yeah, you can have the New.
To answer the OP, What river where you guiding on? Missoula is a fairly cool option for what your seeking. The Blackfoot is a blast at high water, then the Clarks Fork is good all summer (and winter when free of ice). The climbing around town varies from one pitch limestone sport all the way to full on grade V A5 5.11, so those options are solid. Other towns that come to mind would be: Index, Wa. Durango, Co. Truckee, Ca. Squamish, BC. Jackson, Wy....
Just sticking with your north west criteria.
