This was a truly outstanding experience. Luke arranged a wonderful day for me and we had a great time taking in all of the wonderful scenery. Luke was terrific at aligning the proposed hike with my preference for a more challenging adventure, and it was very unique to be able to combine a terrific hike with the floating experience, making it two adventures in one! Luke also brought along a good variety of healthy and organic snacks for our journey, and we had a very tasty hot lunch up at the lake. I would highly recommend this adventure to anyone seeking to have the perfect day in the Bitterroot!

My wife and I spent the day hiking to a high mountain lake that was an absolute wonderful trip. Luke was very personable and a great conversationalist during the moderately strenuous 3+ mile walk to the Lake. Views along the way were breathtaking and trail was peaceful. Luke carried a set of packrafts so we could enjoy floating around the lake as he prepped a simple lunch. This experience with Luke was fabulous and I would highly recommend his service. We are planning to use him again in the future.
