the largest pars in the entire system.

Whitewater
Rafting
Interlaced with rivers and streams, fly fishing isn't all
that Montana waterways are known for. Winter run-off and brisk
currents provide lots of exciting whitewater rafting as well.
Agest 6 and up can float through rollicking whitewater or gentle
riffles, equipped with the safest gear and a knowledgeable guide.
Trying to fit a lot into your day? Not to worry. Both half and
full-day excursions are available. Rates vary from around $45-$75.

There are many trails on the mountain and around the area to enjoy,
including the summit of Lone Peak for the very adventurous. The
scenic lift operates daily 9:45am- 4:00pm (last ride down 4:15)
mid-June through early October, weather permitting. Tickets may

Forest. Right at the resort, you can elect the easier route by

roaring streams, distant snowclad peaks, and clean, crisp mountain
air.
