Primal Quest 2008: The Gallatin River

After hiking all night long, the Dancing Pandas arrived appx. 6am to a warm meal & then they slept from 7:30am - 9:30am before gearing up to float Duckies down the 45°F Gallatin River.


After apppx. 2 hours and 14 miles in the duckies they arrived at the next transition point where they put on even more river gear & body armor for the gnarly riverboard section.




The team did nearly the entire riverboard section before they staff closed the river due to dangerous conditions. Many teams had yet to reach the riverboard section and had to portage/drive to the next transition point. Late afternoon on Tuesday the Dancing Pandas geared up for another all night hike that will take them N toward Bozeman where they'll leave the trail and get on their mountain bikes.
