Read MoreYou are traveling to Montana (maybe for the first time), you have booked a multi-day canoe and camping trip with us (hopefully :-), and you are thinking, ‘Well, I am coming all that way, I should probably take a few extra days to explore more of this vast state.’ You nailed it! We love this great state and know there are so, so many places to visit and sites to see and understand the distance between them can be formidable. Thus, we have complied a (very) short list of other recommended places to visit to either compliment your experience on one of our luxury guided canoe & camping trips or offer a contrasting adventure that gives you a multifaceted experience.
Read MoreThe Missouri River’s history is profoundly rich and immeasurably impactful on the development of the west and our entire country. The name, Missouri, comes from the Indians that lived in the region, the Missouri and Ottee. From the Siouan language the name was, “Ouemessorita”, (pronounced Oh-ma-sur-ray) which literally means “people of the wooden canoe.” Later anglicized to be spelled and pronounced, Missouri. The Missouri was formed about 30 million years ago. The Missouri River is the longest river in North America and the 4th longest in the world (when combined with the Mississippi River system). There are 10 dams located on the Missouri River in Montana and another 5 dams located in North Dakota and South Dakota.
Read MoreMornings along the riverbank are undeniably peaceful and inspiring. We love mornings for many reasons, and rarely do we experience a morning that is not positively fabulous. Summer mornings are a long, serene process with several phases culminating in the delicious glow of the sun on your skin as it finally crests over the cliffs. It is the best time for birdwatching and listening to the wildlife wake for the day. We serve fresh, organic coffee before a hearty, homemade breakfast.
