whitewater rafting first week of July
Save

We will be traveling to Yellowstone with our 3 boys ages 16, almost 13, and almost 9. I have not booked lodging yet as I am still figuring out what location would be best for us. Does anyone have a fun whitewater rafting trip they would recommend in Yellowstone/Teton area that is appropriate for a 9 year old but still fun for a 16 year old? Thanks!

Whitewater rafting is not in the Grand Tetons NP but south of Jackson, WY.

There is no whitewater rafting in Yellowstone either. You will find that north of Gardiner, MT.

When our sons were in their teens, we took them whitewater rafting with Mad River, based in Jackson. They had fun trips - definitely appropriate for all your sons' ages, Dave Hansen also gets good reviews.

Also, I have friends who have had good experiences with Montana Whitewater. They operate both on the Yellowstone out of Gardiner and on the Gallatin north of West Yellowstone.

Thanks! I wasn't looking for a whitewater trip right IN the parks, but something in the vicinity. It looks like there are a number of locations it is offered so just wondering if someone had a strong opinion that one was way superior to another.

In my opinion the white water south of GTNP is more interesting than that north of YNP. North of YNP it is pretty mild, Check a trip out of Jackson. In addition to the vendors mentioned above I have had good luck with Barker Ewing. When you sign up make sure you are getting a white water trip south of Jackson, not the "scenic" (flat water) trip inside the park.

ENJOY!
