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!)

From the start we realized this would be a superb day! Luke was prepared and had everything covered, from bear spray to hiking poles, water, snacks and the best hot lunch cooked for us Lake-side. We hiked, we laughed and we took in the majestic beauty of the Bitteroot , MT. Once we reached our summit he inflated kayaks for us to use on crystal clear waters of Montana mountains and after lunch we saw the most incredible black bear cubs and mamma and he confidently lead us past them and have this seared in our memory. We also took a dip in the clearest glacier pools and this trip went down as the highlight of our Montana visit. We highly recommend Luke!

Luke was very personable & knowledgeable. He provided thoughtful snacks & a yummy lunch. He would give scientific names to the landscapes/ mountains, show the markings on the mountains from glaciers. The FLOATING was amazing, being on a beautiful body of water & surrounded by extreme beauty was amazing. I will definitely hike with Luke again!
