best whitewater rafting (mid-june) in area

We%26#39;re trying to settle on our schedule for our June 2008 trip and still undecided on where to whitewater raft. We want to take a day trip with our two sons 11 and 9 and want as much adventure as is safe for them. We%26#39;ll be doing the Snake in Jackson Hole, but also wanted to do a trip further north in area surrounding Yellowstone. Cody advertises whitewater, the Gallatin river out of Big Sky area, %26amp; the Yellowstone out of Gardiner. Which do you recommend as the ';livliest'; ride mid june? Thanks so much!

I%26#39;ve been researching this too. I can%26#39;t decide between the Yellowstone or the Gallatin. From what I have read, the Gallatin may be more whitewater! I%26#39;m a chicken, but my husband wants to do some white water!

Have fun.

I had kind of come to that same conclusion based on what the tour companies say on their websites. I can%26#39;t get anyone here to give an opinion! Somebody please chime in!

ps- sounds like we are planning very similar trips in june--i%26#39;m finally 90% done with plans/reservations!

We will be leaving here June 23 for 2 weeks in WY and MT. I have to wait until then because of Boy Scout Camp for the kid in early June. Our plans include many State Parks in WY and a few in MT, as well as YS and Tetons. We want to see the headwaters of the Missouri in MT and some ancient sites in MT and WY.

Have a great time. We will be camping, so I%26#39;m not in a hurry to get reservations yet. But will get them soon.

I%26#39;m not sure if you%26#39;re still checking this post but if you are here%26#39;s a little information. I was a rafting guide in Cody for 4 years. The snowpack in the area is shaping up well this year so any of the rivers in the area should be fun. Wyoming River Trips runs a trip on the North Fork of the Shoshone river which runs class III and low IV. It starts a few miles outside of Yellowstone and runs for about 15 miles. The middle of June is the perfect time to take a trip on this river. The Yellowstone is a much larger river and the good snowpack should make for a great trip. A few other options to consider are the Stillwater and Yellowstone rivers near Red Lodge, Montana which is about 60 miles north of Cody. I hope this helps!
