Once the Middle Fork of the Flathead reaches West Glacier it calms significantly and enters a six mile scenic stretch before joining with the North Fork of the Flathead at Blankenship. This peaceful stretch of water features Glacier National Park on one edge and predominantly forest service lands on the other.
Traveling through a micro-canyon, with deep emerald-green pools flanked by steep limestone walls that jut directly from its surface. One bubbly, beginner rapid breaks this stretch and the river quickly regains a calm demeanor for the remainder the section. Half day trips along this stretch are offered commercially from late spring through early fall.
