Getting your paddling muscles activated and just hanging
out with mother nature are great reasons to come. You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. The nature scenery of Missoula / Mineral County and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream make the trip here worthwhile. The wild scenery of the Bitterroot
