Alpine Packrafting
"The Hike + Float"
An experience unique to the Bitterroot National Forest and Bitterroot Backpacking.
First, We Hike
Hike with an expert local guide to a beautiful, alpine lake.
Hikes are usually 6-8 mi with about 1000 ft of elevation gain. Most hikers age 6 and up can complete the hike.
Learn about Montana! Various topics such as native wildflowers, wildlife, state history, and geology!
Then, We Float
Locations are only accessible by foot or pack animal. No boats up here!
Enjoy the lake entirely to yourself! Book a private tour for the best possible experience.
Next, We Eat

Choose from a menu of options suited for almost any dietary restriction!
Hot tea and pour-over-coffee are provided too.
Finally,We Make Memories
Amazing scenery, great conversation, and the therapeutic value of nature attribute to making beautiful memories!
