Perfectly charming when trees sport spring greenery but arguably more popular come first snow, Whitefish, a small northern city, is a winter wonderland known for its accessible slopes and proximity to Glacier National Park.
As Gallatin Canyon tightens its squeeze on the Gallatin River, the rapids quickly intensify. Limestone cliffs along the banks give way to intrusions of igneous granite, and large granite boulders choke the waterway. The rapids along the Lower Gallatin are technical and demanding, especially at higher flows. One section along the Lower Gallatin, known as ‘the Mad Mile’, features over a mile of continuous intermediate-advanced level rapids.
The lower Gallatin is usually boatable from mid spring to mid summer, fed exclusively by springs and snowmelt from the Gallatin Range. Typically run as a half day trip, a trip down the Lower Gallatin can be combined with the Upper Gallatin for a fun full day adventure
