About This Tour
Start the trip on the boundary of America’s first National Park! Spend the morning paddling the “Gardiner Town Stretch” and float further downstream into beautiful Paradise Valley. Before entering paradise, you will experience class I-III splashy rapids, beautiful scenery and amazing swimming holes. Halfway through your adventure, our fun loving guides will stop and serve you lunch sourced from a locally owned cafe. After lunch your afternoon will be well spent paddling through the scenic and rapid Yankee Jim Canyon – the most beautiful section of the Yellowstone River! (and most fun, in our opinion)
