River Mayhem with Mai Crew

Montana Moments While in Big Sky, we went on a half‑day white water rafting trip through Montana with MontanaWhiteWater.com, and it was amazing! The water was crisp-cold (think biting freshness), but oh so exhilarating. Even the calm stretches were downright peaceful and beautiful, perfect for soaking in that classic Montana wilderness vibe.
