The river winds through the Absaroka Range and you get great scenery. This river system is full of great paddling sections, the Honeymoon section is just one of them. Whether you're whitewater rafting or kayaking
    there are lots of good rivers for that around here. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but if you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. Great exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors
have a lot of people coming here. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside this state you might find the rivers here a bit more challenging, so don't forget that quite a few of the sections here are not easy.
