We had two families rafting in the same boat for a full day this August. Incredible fun. Rapids are perfect for all ages. Elk, osprey, bald eagles and a golden eagle were spotted along the Yellowstone River. Patrick was a great guide.....and cook. He was also fantastic with all of our kids that evening when we spent a nite in Wild West's canvas tent campsite. Absolutely want to go back to Gardiner and Wild West for a future trip.
