The West Glacial River has similar scenery to the East Glacial River but avoids the bigger rapids like Commitment (IV) and Green Room (IV+).
Trip Highlights
Mile 0: Put-in just on river left upstream of the F752 bridge that crosses the West Glacial River. Please be sure to close any gates that you open.
Mile 1.5: There is a hot spring on river right that is not one that you should stop and soak in.
Mile 1.8: Left Bend Rapid (III) is a fun rapid with some holes to avoid. The scenery below here is stunning.
