This is 10 times the volume of low water in August but less than one third of the volume we experienced during high-water in 2018. At 6,000 ifs the Blackfoot has fun ..read more

Moreover, almost every little water feature can cover the entire boat with water. This was in-part what inspired Montana River Guides to start offering the Wild Side raft trips. Since the other guides and I were having so much fun, why no ..read more
