I've rafted with Glacier Raft multiple times. Each time has been great. The guides are personable and welcoming. Recently I had LP as my guide. He was professional and funny with tons of knowledge about the area.”

My family took an afternoon trip down the Middle Fork with Russell. The whole crew was fun and experienced. Russell as a guide was very knowledgeable about the area and kept us in the boat. I’d highly recommend this trip.”
