Dierks Bentley at Pangaea!

Big thanks to Dierks Bently, the band and the crew for an amazing trip on the Clark Fork. That was the bloodiest water gun fight I've ever seen! Brooke and I got a tour of the tour buses, a big step up from our bus Edna! And thanks for the jam session down by the river.

I've never seen anything like this

Check out this incrediable video about a jet boat company in New Zeland.  You'll shake your head and not believe what you see.  Those Kiwis are crazy.  Let me know if you've ever been on a jest boat ride like this! http://www.shotoverjet.com/the-video

Greatest August on Clark Fork River in history

Greatest August water levels on the Clark Fork River ever! Hot weather, glorious white water and plenty of fun. Fang rapid has never been better! The snows have melted, the ultra high water is done, so the water flow right now is AMAZING!  We've never had this much water in August.  Good water and hot weather? Can you say...

Leave Boring Behind! Clark Fork River

Pangaea River Rafting - Spotlighted by Greater Spokane Incorporated

Thanks to our friends at Greater Spokane Incoporated for a wonderful article: http://www.greaterspokane.org/blog/2011/07/small-business-spotlight-pangaea-river-rafting/

 

Last Best Week - Spokane River Spokane River

The combination of weather and water, this might be the last, best week for Spokane River Whitewater.

This won't be the last week of whitewater, but I think this may be the very best week before the river drops and the white water isn't as wet and wild.

Pangaea will run the Spokane River Bowl and Pitcher and Devil's Toenail through July, a first for our company. Usually the Avista damn lowers the river beyond 2,500 cfs, making the Devil's Toenail unrunable. But this years high snow pack and cold spring will supply us the water we need for spokane whitewater into August.

First Big Run on Clark Fork

Yesterday first big run on the Clark since high water! The Clark Fork River whitewater is open for business! Visit Clark Fork River Rafting

Great Sticker

I'm at a wedding this weekend. Saw this sticker on a black guitar case.

Spokane River Rafting - Spokane, Washington

Spokane River Whitewater Rafting

Lake Coeur d' Alene drains the mountains of northern Idaho, making the rafting season on the Spokane River the best whitewater on the Spokane River in almost a decade.

Run the Wild and Wet Spokane 

Run the wet and wild Lower Spokane River, finding beauty and solitude right in the city of Spokane, Washington. Osprey, Blue Heron, Canadian Geese, ducks, whitetail deer and the occasional moose or coyote may accompany you through the eye-popping beauty of the Spokane River.

Do It All With Pangaea River Rafting

Pangaea River Rafting will take care of everything you require for a perfect fun in the sun. Wet suits and splash jackets are included (if we need them!) and the shuttle ride from the end of the trip back to your car.

World Famous Guides

You'll run the river with world famous guides in our rafts that hold anywhere from 2 to 7 people for the most comfortable ride on the river.

Start Your Trip

We'll put-in either at the Maple Street Bridge just west of town or the famous T.J. Meenach Bridge beside Bloomsday's infamous "Doomsday" hill.  Start off running mild and scenic water with a few splashy class II waves to get you warmed up.  Then we dash through Washington's most famous class III rapid, the Bowl and Pitcher.  Next run the big, boat eating drop known as the Devil's Toenail.

After Your Trip

Enjoy free drinks (beer, juice, water and soda) at the end of the trip as you hug and high five after an awesome day on the river.

Hiawatha and Rafting Open in Idaho, Montana and Washington

Route of the Hiawatha opening for 2011 season June 11
Route of the Hiawatha, the scenic bike trail, will open for its 14th season of operation Saturday, June 11! Pangaea River Rafting is close by. Whitewater Raft and peddle! Pangaea is practically next door to the Hiawatha Trail. Our whitewater trips in Spokane, Coeur d' Alene and Missoula are perfect for kids as young as six! More info about the Hiawatha trail below. Get outside!

Reprinted from the Hiawatha, June 9, 2011 Press Release from Lookout Mountain.
The Route of the Hiawatha trail is generally open from May through October. The trail is opening a few weeks later than usual this spring due to the heavy winter snowfall. Crews from Lookout Pass Ski and Recreation Area, which operates the trail, have been working to clear snow from the trailhead at the east portal of the Taft Tunnel, which is the highest point of Route of the Hiawatha at 4,147 feet.
“We’ve been getting a lot of calls from people eager to ride the Hiawatha asking us when the trail will open,” said Phil Edholm, president and CEO of Lookout Pass.  “We’ve punched through the main access road to the East Portal trail head and the warm weekend weather gave us the break we were looking for to enable a June 11th opening.”
Referred to as the "crown jewel" of U.S. rail-to-trail mountain bicycle trails, Route of the Hiawatha follows the abandoned Milwaukee Railroad grade between the old town site of Taft, Mont., and the North Fork of the St. Joe River near Avery, Idaho. The trail has received worldwide acclaim as one of the most breathtaking scenic stretches of railroad in the U.S.  In October 2010, Route of the Hiawatha was inducted into the Rails to Trails Conservancy’s Hall of Fame. USA Today named Hiawatha one of the top 10 rail-to-trail adventures in the country.
Winding through 10 tunnels--including the 1.7 mile long St. Paul Pass Tunnel--and 7 trestles up to 230 feet high, the 15-mile route crosses the rugged Bitterroot Mountains between Idaho and Montana. The gentle 1.6 percent grade drops 1,000 feet in elevation along the way, making Route of the Hiawatha an ideal experience for families and riders of all ages and abilities. The three-to-four hour trip is highlighted by spectacular mountain views, wildlife and interpretive historic signage. Shuttle buses stand by at the end of the trail to transport visitors and their bikes back to the top.
Route of the Hiawatha is open 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. seven days a week. Tickets, bike, rentals, shuttle passes food, beverages and picnic lunches are available from 8:00 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Lookout Pass Ski and Recreation Area, located 12 miles east of Wallace off Exit 0 on Interstate 90 at the Idaho/Montana border. The St. Paul Pass Tunnel trailhead is about 7 miles from the ski area. Helmets and lights are required and available for rent. Equipment reservations are recommended. For more information about Route of the Hiawatha, call 208-744-1301 or visit www.ridethehiawatha.com for trail information.

Spokane River

Starting last weekend, the Spokane River is in full action! It's as good as it gets on the Spokane River: Spokane River Whitewater Hope to see you there.

Blackfoot River - Yahoo!

The Blackfoot River is as good as I've ever seen it!  Warm weather, roller coaster waves and swamp the boat family whitewater - PERFECT!  Book the Blackfoot as soon as possilbe to take advantage: Blackfoot River

Blackfoot River Super Fun Right Now!

Pangaea spent Saturday and Sunday guide training.  We swam, rowed, flipped rafts and paddled the Clark Fork and Blackfoot Rivers. We also had a great time with the Post Falls Bachelor Party on Sunday rafting the Blackfoot. Thanks for making this weekend so fun!

Big, Big Rivers Expected in 2011

With Snow Water equivalents running over 150% of normal, the Clark Fork River, Blackfoot River and Spokane River will run fast and furious this season. High water will extend well into late June and early July. I think July & August will be perfect for the Clark Fork, late June for the Spokane and late May, June on the Blackfoot as prime time. If you like to follow snow pack numbers, check out snowpack water totals here.

Clark Fork River Whitewater

Clark Fork River Whitewater

Whitewater river rafting on the Clark Fork River started yesterday for Pangaea.  Our first two guests of the year rafted with David Lawrence, the owner of Pangaea River Rafting down the wild and scenic Clark Fork River.

Late April is a great time of year to raft.  Snowgeese, beaver, otter, migrating birds and goats (yes, goats) were on the river.

Early run-off has the river at a great level right now and it's only getting higher.
