The 10 Best Tours in Missoula, Montana (MT)

July 24, 2021 Tambra Mccollister

Peacefully tucked away in the heart of the northern Rocky Mountains, Missoula is the perfect spot for a weekend of history, culture and outdoor fun. Home to the University of Montana, one of the most architecturally distinguished academic institutions in the country, the city offers a number of intellectually stimulating attractions. Spend a few hours browsing through the exhibits at the Art Museum of Missoula or take a trip back in time at the Historical Museum at Fort Missoula. The city's close proximity to three major rivers and acres of lush forest means visitors can also enjoy a host of recreational activities, from fly fishing and kayaking to hiking and biking. Missoula's historic downtown area has classic early-century buildings and boasts unique shops, galleries, fine dining and a lively nightlife. With kids in tow, don't miss Dragon Hollow, a magical playground that features an extraordinary hand-carved carousel.

Blackfoot River Outfitters

Our day trips usually start by meeting your guide at our Missoula shop or being picked up at your desired location around 8:30 a.m. We gear-up and head out to wherever's fishing. Typical drive times range from ten minutes to about an hour. With hundreds of miles of water, the options are virtually endless and you can choose between floating and wading for full or half day trips. We also offer whitewater/fishing combo trips through the Alberton Gorge on the lower Clark Fork (offered typically from August through mid-October). Day trips include your guide, lunch and shuttle (for float trips). Plus, you'll gain plenty of local knowledge about the water, hatches and techniques. You should also know that our are not of the "on the clock" variety, spending as much time on the water as their clients wish.
