Great for young
families! Check-in at Glacier Raft Company in the Village
of West Glacier ½ hour prior to trip departure. Scenic float on the
middle fork of the flathead
river bordering Glacier National Park, 5½ miles to
Blankenship Bridge where the North Fork of the Flathead River merges with the
Middle Fork. Start with a short shuttle to the river access near the golf
course in West Glacier. An enjoyable and mild float along the Park boundary
with the chance to view moose, deer, bears and a host of smaller mammals and
birds who frequent the river. There will be opportunities to see close up the
effects of the 2003 Robert Fire and nature's new cycle of growth in the burned
areas. The only rapids on this trip are short and modest Class II (easy,
intermediate rapid) at Devil's Elbow, exciting enough to thrill the beginner
but not dangerous enough to cause concern. Early in the rafting season during
high water, this trip continues 5 miles beyond Blankenship Bridge to Coram;
this trip is still suitable for younger children. Shuttle back to our office in
West Glacier following trip. |
Wear shoes you don't mind getting wet. Bring only waterproof
disposable cameras and water in plastic bottles.
