Transportation and shuttle services

Summer of 2021 travelers are experiencing a shortage of transportation options. Our passenger transportation is limited to the basic provision of getting folks from our meeting place to the river/trail and back. If you are looking for additional shuttle transportation here are some options beyond car rental. Contact them directly for details and quotes. Be sure we are included in the final communication to make sure the pick up times and logistic match with our trips.

Helena Town Car provides high-end and customized transportation service in all areas we operate in Montana.

Montana Adventure Shuttle provides small group transportation based in Missoula

Turo – carsharing, like Airbnb for cars

Uber/Lyft are always good back up options, plenty of drivers in Missoula, I have seen drivers in Great Falls with pricing to Fort Benton for approx $100 but that is  subject to change.

Shuttle Services 

Four Rivers Shuttle Service – all rivers around Missoula

Big Sky Shuttles & Rentals – Cory Ackerman – based on the Clark Fork / Alberton Gorge – 406-599-0201

River Shuttles based in Salmon operating on the Main, Middle Fork Salmon and Selway Rivers.

Lolo Trail Testimonial

“Gia & Wayne take customer service to a new level, their personalized service is second to none and the food was so good that I might have gained weight. The hiking & history is unbelievable, you can truly imagine what the Corp of Discovery went through.”
