This journey begins at 9:30am for check-in at the rafting office. You will be transported to the Yellowstone River just minutes away, where you will meet your expert guide. After a brief talk about safety, you'll board the raft and start paddling!
This white water section of the Yellowstone River has several class III rapids, beautiful mountain scenery and wildlife. Prepare to get very wet while rafting in Montana! During a calm stretch of river, you'll land on a river bank filled with tall cottonwood trees, where you'll be served a hearty picnic lunch. You can take this time to do some exploring before boarding the raft for more whitewater action. Yankee Jim Canyon is the next thrilling section of river. Rapids such as “Yankee’s Revenge” and “Box Car” are sure to provide a lot of excitement. The deep, narrow canyon offers an up-close-and-personal feel for the natural world around you.
After 18 miles, the river begins to meander through Montana ranch land. It is a unique section of river that only our overnight guests experience. At approximately 4 pm you will arrive at the destination camp. A campfire, hot or cold drinks, your dry clothes and gear will greet you at arrival. Guests will sleep in comfortable tents, and a bathroom and shower are provided.
With the campfire glowing, your awesome guide will grill a thick Montana steak. Dinner includes a variety of tasty sides guaranteed to satisfy the hungriest rafter! Other menus are available upon request.
You can relax after dinner, take a walk along the riverbank, fish or just sit by the fire for the evening. Then prepare for stargazing in Big Sky Country. Enjoy stories and roasting marshmallows before it’s off to a cozy night’s sleep.
