I grew up day floating the Blackfoot and Bitteroot rivers but it's been so long I'm probably not much help. The Blackfoot we used our big family raft on because it had more rocks and rapids and the Bitteroot was a very lazy 3 hour tube ride on the section we did right out of Missoula. I'll be...
just did this a few weeks ago there is so much to see, I love seeing the places you camped at, we plan on doing it again next year and seeing things we missed this time around
