Glacier National Park Tours - Wild River Adventures whitewater rafting

Wild River Adventures: Whitewater Rafting Tours Glacier National Park

Although this too is a guided adventure it takes a group effort to get you all down the middle fork of the Flathead River. But trust me, it’s a fun one! You and your crew will have the trip of a lifetime with our friends at Wild River Adventures on their West Glacier whitewater rafting trips. Grab a paddle and enjoy a half day with these river rats! Splash through jaws or bone crusher or take the more mellow (still just as fun scenic route) but they have all the wet n’ wild fun you are looking for! I would say rafting is a MUST do while you are here!
