About Rafting in Montana:

During the last ice age, glaciers shaped the region by carving out “U” shaped valleys between parallel mountain ridges. Through these lush river valleys flow the Forks of the Flathead River. Today the majority of the Flathead is protected by the National Wild & Scenic Rivers Act and the Bob Marshall and Great Bear Wilderness Areas. Montana whitewater rafting trips are usually available from late-spring through the end of summer. You can choose a half, one, two or three day Montana whitewater rafting trip. You might even consider planning some extra time to do some hiking or backpacking in Glacier National Park.
