Overview

This tour is more than sightseeing—it’s a storey you’ll understand
Explore the Blackfoot River through the lens of geology, ecology, and history. Guests don’t just see the landscape—they leave understanding how it was formed, impacted, and ultimately restored.

  • Small-group experience (no crowded buses)
    With limited group sizes, you get a more personal, relaxed day. There’s time for questions, wildlife sightings, and meaningful conversation—not just quick photo stops.

  • Guided by interpretation—not just transport
    This is a true guided experience, not a point-to-point shuttle. Each stop builds on the last, connecting science, landscape, and human history into one cohesive storey.

  • Thoughtfully designed by a local guide company, this tour is built around connection—to place, to storey, and to the bigger picture of conservation in the American West.

Activity itinerary

Milltown State Park

  • 30m
  • Admission ticket included
At the confluence of the Clark Fork and Blackfoot Rivers, Milltown State Park tells one of Montana’s most powerful conservation stories. Once the site of two dams, a mill, a power plant and contaminated reservoir, this landscape has been fully restored into a thriving river corridor. Guests will learn how decades of environmental damage were reversed, creating critical habitat for fish and wildlife while reconnecting the Blackfoot River to its natural flow.

Blackfoot River

  • 4h
Made famous by A River Runs Through It, the Blackfoot River is one of Montana’s most iconic waterways. Beyond its scenic beauty, it represents a remarkable conservation success—transformed from a history of mining, logging, and pollution into a pristine blue-ribbon trout stream. This experience explores the river’s geology, ecology, and the collaborative efforts that brought it back to life.

Lewis and Clark Trail

  • 2h
Follow in the footsteps of the Corps of Discovery along the Lewis and Clark Trail, where early explorers navigated the rivers and landscapes of western Montana. This stretch offers insight into the challenges they faced, the routes they travelled, and the Indigenous histories that long predate the expedition. It’s a chance to connect deeply with the human storey of exploration in the American West.
