Great Bear Whitewater Excursion
It all starts with you and three of your best friends luxuriating at The Last Best Place – The Resort at Paws Up® in Greenough, Montana. Life at this premier luxury ranch resort entails highly refined ranch cuisine, super fine wines, plenty of stuff to do and spectacular bedding. About the time your gastronomy meter hits tilt, a helicopter will drop in, pick you up and whisk you off to the Schaefer Meadow in the Great Bear Wilderness – where the amped-up adventure really begins. For the next four days you’ll power paddle a relentless onslaught of chutes, rollers and drops on the Middle Fork of the Flathead River – one of Montana’s wildest whitewater behemoths. You’ll not only wage war against class ll, III and IV rapids, but you’ll win against a river worth reckoning with. The journey may extinguish 27 miles later, but the sound of thundering water and blood-curdling screams will echo in your ears for years to come. Hallelujah. All hail the Paws Up Paddler.
