When my friends and I arrived at Yellowstone National Park, we wanted to experience everything the…read morepark had to offer. While this is experience is not inside the park, it is worth every penny. As we were waiting for the remaining guests who had signed up, we had the opportunity to get to know a few of the guides. Evan, Trent, Jada, and Cheyara ( I probably mispelled) were the guides for our group and all are great! The guides were very good at orienting us on safety protocols along with their great sense of humor. We did the two hour rafting trip and would like to do a longer one if we get the chance!

HEAR YE HEAR YE! If…read moreyou ever want to test your friendships and your arm strength, book a rafting trip with Wild West Rafting. Our bachelorette crew of eight women showed up ready to float -- Spencer, our fearless captain, quickly informed us this was more "adventure" than "lazy river." Not only did Spencer make sure we paddled for our lives, he also had us carrying rafts up and down hills like we were training for the Raft Olympics. And when we weren't paddling or hauling, he was pulling double duty as a certified (in our minds) bird-watcher -- confidently identifying every feathered creature we saw, real or imagined. The views were gorgeous, the water was refreshing (read: freezing), and Spencer's calm, steady presence (even with eight women in one raft) made the trip unforgettable. We're pretty sure he secretly loved our vibes and the top-tier entertainment we provided along the way. 10/10 would raft again... after leg day, arm day, and maybe some cardio. Thanks for the memories, Spencer! We would definitely recommend booking your trip with him. WOOF WOOF BARK BARK

I don't have the words to describe this float trip with Cody in this spectacular landscape. If…read moreyou're looking for a relaxing float, with a knowledgeable, friendly guide, this is it. The scenery, animals, landscape are stunning and Cody is a class act and "old soul" wilderness guide. Taken a lot of float trips and this was the best by far. Take this trip, it's an investment in your soul.

I had the best time floating down the Yellowstone River with Cody! He was incredibly friendly, made…read morethe entire process easy and seamless, and kept us entertained with fun facts and great stories about Montana and the surrounding area. The float itself was so smooth and relaxing--I felt instantly at ease, soaking in the stunning mountain scenery that looked like it was pulled straight from a painting. My only complaint? I never wanted it to end!

We rented the Hatch Rubicon Poptop for a long weekend and it was the greatest thing ever for…read morecamping. My wife and I loved how easy it was to pop up the top (seriously takes 5 seconds to put up and take down) without the hassle of needing to tow a trailer. It was also plenty warm in the top at night, and we loved being able to store our gear in the cab that we could access without needing to get out. The Jeep was super clean and we really appreciated the cooler and folding chairs that Alyssa had in the Jeep all ready for us when we picked up the car. We didn't need to do any offroad driving but the Jeep handled great on the roads, even at highway speed. Thanks a ton Hatch for a great experience, can't wait to use one of these sweet setups again in the future.

They're awesome! We rented one of their Tacoma pickups for a ski road trip and it was perfect. The…read morevehicle was top notch, in great condition and perfectly equipped with snow tires that got us through hundreds of miles on snowy roads without any issues. In the summer they usually have it setup with a tent in the back of the truck. Can't wait to try that! Overall an amazing experience with them, you will not regret it. Stephan is a super friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating person. We forgot a cell phone and he was kind enough to get it for us and overnight it!

Ew. As a local to Bozeman it was extremely off-putting to…read morehear of the gatekeeping attitude to boating possessed and expressed by an elderly woman worker at NLRLO. Commenting on my supposed needs snidely, and without provocation just sent another sale out of the area. I thought these people were from here, as I've visited their NLTCo and Boat Barn locations prior, but their gatekeeping, unpolite, and prejudice language sound like any number of unsettled transplants I've met in the Gallatin area. "Thanks" but no thanks.

Andrew helped us install, secure and double check the equipment before heading out to the river. Thank you for the excellent service and reassurance!
