The canyon is home to some of Montana’s most diverse wildlife. Inside the canyon there is a chance to see everything from a Bald Eagle to Mountain Lions, Black Bears, or maybe some River Otters.
The canyon is approximately 5 1/2 miles long made of Limestone with walls rising over 1000 feet above the river.
We currently have three boats in operation. We have the wooden 50 foot 89 passenger Sacajawea II. We have the aluminum 60 foot 104 passenger Canyon Voyager. And we have the fiberglass 42 foot 49 passenger Hilger Rose. All three boats our inspected and certified annually by the United States Coast Guard.
Imagine 1000 foot Limestone walls and the Missouri River as your backdrop for your big day! Gates of the Mountains offers the perfect setting for your day with some of the most incredible views in Montana.
