Luke and Emily conducted themselves as guides in exactly the way one could only hope when signing up for random online events hosted by strangers haha. I felt welcomed, accommodated, and secure the entire time while a part of the group. Luke demonstrated excellent flexibility given the couple of monkey wrenches thrown our way as well as the sort of personability that only comes from a person who truly cares about others. I learned a lot about local flora/fauna and made some friends, there was a perfect balance of keeping us focused on the intent of the hike while allowing room for plenty of casual socializing with felow attendees. I will absolutely be signing up for more events in the future and am only hesitant to continue heaping on praise to the team at BB because I don't want all ya'll discerning review readers to take all the remaining open slots for this summer!

I enjoyed the casual and friendly atmosphere created by Luke and Emily. Luke shared his knowledge about the wildflowers in bloom, particularly the Missoula Phlox. I was delightful.

We had a great time hiking with Luke. He was very prepared(lots of snacks) and very knowledgeable. The hike was beautiful. There were some rocks to climb over and a few wet spots to cross. The larger water crossings had logs to walk across. Floating on the lake was the whole reason we did the hike and it did not disappoint. It was so peaceful. He adjusted the speed of the hike to the hikers that were with us. No one felt rushed or left behind. My husband is not a hiker or walker and he had no problem doing this hike.

What a fantastic experience we had! Luke, our guide, was informative, personable, and incredibly customer service based. The hike we went on was a great length and the float was something I have never experienced before. Incredible! You will not regret booking with Bitterroot Backpacking.
