March 24th. Our first trip of the year north to Missoula, MT. Our plan was hit up Kootenai Creek, Alberton Gorge, Brennan's wave, and possibly Bear Creek. The flows were low, but we were all itching to get out there. Saturday the weather was gorgeous and the water pretty low, which was actually a blessing in disguise. We had some first time creekers who did great stomping down the class IV Kootenai Creek. With some more flow this run turns into a great season warm-up with some good boofs and decent rapids.
Its a beautiful creek in the Bitterroot range just outside of Missoula with a hiking trail that runs parallel to the entire run. The run consists of about a 1/4 mile of class IV action culminating with a fun little slidy thinger. All in all it was a fun start to the Montana boating season with many more adventures to come! Oh yeah, and saturday night we slept in a boxcar...it was sweet.
Over and out.
