Additional Details

Rafting

Enjoy a day of whitewater rafting on the Yellowstone River, the longest free-flowing river in the lower 48 states and the iconic river of Paradise Valley. 

The first part of your day will be on flatwater, learning to move the boat as a team and getting to know one another as you wind through Paradise Valley. You and your raft group will learn all sorts of river games, and there’ll be time to chat, swim, and battle it out in water gun fights.  

We’ll find a secluded beach to pull over for lunch right along the river.  After lunch, you’ll tackle Yankee Jim Canyon, a class 2-3 section of whitewater with towering canyon walls.
