Fast Water on the North Fork of the Flathead

(inflatable kayak)
So sorry for the long delay.  Having way too much fun on the final stretch to post!

The Flathead River was crankin!    Rain and snowmelt had the river full to the bank, running almost 20,000 cubic feet per second.    It made for a fast trip and big waves.     We were joined by Kevin O'Donnell and had a ball for three days rafting on the edge of Glacier National Park.     Beautiful river, beautiful country.      See a glimpse of it here.

Found a patch of Morels at our first camp.
Delightful with the grilled steaks.

Guide Dean works hard to make landfall for lunch.


Dashel explores the upstream end of the
island where we stopped for lunch. 

At a few places snow reached all
the way to river level.

Looks cold?  It was!  Notice the "gumby" mitts.

Sign at our RV park needs some work!
