Day 1: Meet at our Gallatin River office at 8:30 am. Pack your gear and obtain any other camping gear you might need. In June and early July we outfit you in a wetsuit, booties, and splash gear. In July and August you can wear something you don't mind getting wet or borrow any of our cold weather gear. We transport you to our river put-in where we have a riverside briefing and safety talk before you get on the water with your guides.

Raft the river for a full-day, ending up at our private tipi camp site under the majestic Castle Rock. Get out of your rafting gear and relax by the river. Bring a fishing license and equipment if you would like to enjoy the Blue Ribbon Trout fishing on the Gallatin River. Let us know if you are interested in an introduction to fly fishing or equipment rental.

We prepare a delicious and filling dinner - which you are welcome to enjoy with your own beer or wine. After dinner you can opt to hike, play volleyball, horsehoes or simply relax by the fire. Climb into your sleeping bag (on a comfy cot in a tipi) and enjoy a solid night sleep as you listen to the river flow gently by.

Day 2: Wake up to fresh coffee and a tasty hot breakfast. We depart camp around 10:00 AM and raft the lower Gallatin. This incredibly scenic section is where they filmed the movie "A River Runs Through It".

Finish the trip off with a snack at the takeout. Once you get back to our office, you can look at your trip photos, pick out some souvenirs and grab lunch at our Blazing Paddles Eatery for the best chicken tacos around!
