Enjoy An Incredible Paddle And Hike In The Bitterroot Mountains

The Bitterroot National Forest is an incredibly beautiful and rugged place with amazing mountains and deep glacial canyons.

While you paddle, your guide will prepare a backpacker-style lunch of Pad Thai, Pasta Primavera, or Beef Stroganoff.

Once you return to land, you’ll learn a bit about learn about cooking in the backcountry without leaving a trace. Then, you’ll pack up and head back to the trailhead the same way you hiked up.
