Selway Madness

So somehow after 10 years of submitting for the Idaho three rivers lottery I finally won a permit and for the Selway nonetheless. The Selway is a river trip of the highest caliber. The putin is south of Missula, MT and the takeout is on the otherside of the panhandle near the confluence with the Lochsa River. The river trip itself is about 47 miles long through some spectacular wilderness that also boosts some great whitewater. If you are ever so lucky to have the opportunity to do the Selway I highly recommend it, just know if your launch date is in May or early June expect to deal with some rain and weather but also be prepared to have good water great times.









PS - If you do find yourself on a Selway trip be sure to thank the rafters (if you have any) for schleping your gear , food, and less desirable by-products. Someone once said river trips are like backpacking but you can bring anything you want. Here's to that and thanks Kurt!
