Hike and Packraft: Bitterroot National Forest

Overview

The Bitterroot National Forest is an incredibly beautiful and rugged place with amazing mountains and deep glacial canyons. The trails are not always well maintained, and often times seasonal creeks will deter folks who aren't used to water crossings. You'll be glad you brought a guide along!

The hike and packraft float is an experience unique to Bitterroot Backpacking. You will not find any other guide or company providing this service! (And if you do, they probably found the idea here!)

What a wonderful day trip with Luke! The views are just incredible. However Luke really is what makes the trip great. He has an amazing personality and brings all the things you could ever need for a day trip. From the variety of snacks and beverages to the bug and bear spray and even offers to carry it all! Communication was great with him too as we were planning a custom trip. Hands down you wont be disappointed with any trip you plan with Luke. I hope one day soon we can make it back and Luke is still around the area to take us on another adventure!

Going on this hike with Luke was absolutely incredible — I cannot recommend this experience enough! He takes care of everything, teaches you so much along the way, and gives you a magical memory. The hike itself was so beautiful, but the floating is something you’ll never forget!
