We've just wrapped up packrafting trips on the alpine lakes in the Bitterroot National Forest for the season, but we'll be back in operation May 1st 2027!

Winter hiking season inbound!

Hiking in a golden paradise like none-other!

Sun dog over a larchy lake! Tiny ice crystals in the atmosphere illuminated by the sun create this effect! Join us for a hike next Autumn to catch a view like this!

Mountain slopes turn into an artist's palette in Fall in western Montana...

9/17/26 The Larch are starting to turn golden at the high altitudes! If you're larch-seekin' this weekend, go up high! It's still a bit early, but over the next 2-3 weeks many of these pine trees will turn and lose their needles!

A summer of floating around Missoula and the Bitterroot...

1. Blackfoot River
2. Camas Lake
3. Bitterroot River
4. Clark Fork
5. Clark Fork

I love the versatility of this little raft!

For less than the cost of an entry level mountain bike, we've gotten out on water over 50 times this summer!

Did you know we sell Alpacka rafts? Send us a DM for a discount!

August 9th, 2026, 8:43 am. Southern Bitterroot Mountains. Altitude of 6500 ft. The high valleys in the Southern Bitterroot have been nearly smoke-free each morning! Calm winds each night means that new smoke isn't blown in and existing smoke settles.

Call or email us for trail info, to rent gear, for a guided trip, or to carry your backpacking gear for you! 🏕️

Links to all of these hikes can be found at the link in our bio.

We've seen too many "top spring hike" type of posts lately that tell people to go to places that still have a ton of snow, so we felt it necessary for a proper hiking outfitter to make such a list!

Feel free to reach out for other recommendations! There are a ton more that we'd add to this list that are a bit further than an hour out from Missoula!
