Belt Creek

Flow 730. Packrafts. Water through the gorge was fast! Scouting can be a little difficult, but at this level we only needed to get out and scout two rapids, both of which has easily avoidable holes.

If the flow is any higher, it would be quite fast, hard to get out/scout, and definitely tough for most packrafters.

We were unsure of any logjams upstream (though it is now confirmed clear), so we hiked up from the bottom of the gorge along a great trail and put in just above the gorge - we did not float from Monarch.

Overall, one of the prettiest slices of river in Montana - the gorge is quite unique!
