Rafting

Montana River Guides. Raft and kayak adventures with Montana River Guides splash down the Blackfoot and Bitterroot rivers and the rowdy Alberton Gorge of the Clark Fork River. You can also let them teach you how to "riverboard," which is similar to rafting except you run the rapids prone on a 4-foot belly board with flippers on your feet. It's about the funnest way to experience a river firsthand. 138 Big Bend La., 35 mins west of Missoula on I–90, Exit 70 at Cyr, cross Cyr Bridge, turn left on Sawmill Gulch, and look for yellow rafts, Alberton, Montana, 59820. 406/722–7238; 406/240–8060; 406/214–0245; www.montanariverguides.com.
