Enjoy a boat excursion thru Gates of the Mountains, named by Meriwether Lewis when he and the Corp of Discovery paddled thru in 1805.

"This evening we entered much the most remarkable clifts what we have yet seen. These cliffs rise from the waters edge on either side perpendicularly to the height of 1200 feet . . . the river appears to have forced its way through this immense body of solid rock for the distance of 5 3/4 miles, and where it makes its exit below has thrown on either side vast columns of rocks mountains high . . . from the singular appearance of this place, I called it the Gates of the Rocky Mountains." - Meriwether Lewis, July 19, 1805

Once we venture back outside Yellowstone National Park, we'll return to West Yellowstone to visit the Grizzly & Wolf Discovery Center. Here you'll see up close & personal Grizzly bears, wolves, eagles, raptors, and otters.
