It’s great fun to white water raft and the middle fork of the Flathead River that runs between Glacier National Park and the Great Bear Wilderness is a great place to do it. We had some calm parts and about 5 sets of rapids that vary according to water levels from class 3 to class 5. This time of year, it’s mostly classs 3. We are about to enter one right there on the right. Earlier in the year the water is higher and so is it’s classification.
We used Great Northern Rafting company just west of the town of West Glacier. They are easy to find because of the little red caboose that serves great breakfast burritos and BBQ.
Here we are entering the rapid. There was a fun one called “the toilet bowl” because the raft spins around.
You can jump in for a swim in cool (read: COLD), clear mountain waters during the calm parts.
