	Team Tarkio By Dunbar Hardy
	Tarkio Kayak Adventures was created in 1997 by Brennan Guth. Brennan's vision was to create a community for paddlers to come together and enjoy the beautiful rivers of the Northern Rockies, while being guided by some of the best instructors and people who call the river their home. Through multi-day instruction, people would improve their paddling skills while exploring remote canyons and live together on the river. Thus, the idea of 'Team Tarkio' was born.
	Brennan's hometown was Missoula, Montana and his home river was the Alberton Gorge Run on the Clark Fork River. Countless days were spent enjoying the playful rapids of the Gorge and the beauty of the canyon scenery. Brennan also frequently paddled other rivers in the neighborhood such as the Lochsa River, the Middle Fork of the Salmon, and the Main Salmon. He realized he had an abundant amount of high-quality whitewater rivers to share with others.
	Today Tarkio Kayak Adventures continues to carry-forth Brennan's vision. The team assembled includes some of the best-known paddlers/instructors in the whitewater world, as well as some of the highest quality people - Johnnie Kern, Willie Kern, Dunbar Hardy, Land Heflin, Peter Kettering, Polk Dieters, Polly Green and Tracy Bowerman. The members of this team are people who love whitewater-rivers and wish to share their countless years of whitewater experience passion for the river and with others.
	Tarkio Kayak Adventures offers a wide range of clinics and trips, as well as private instruction/guiding. Other trips Tarkio offers are Lochsa River Clinics, the Middle Fork of the Salmon, the Main Salmon, as well as a Northern Rockies Whitewater Tour. In the off-season Tarkio offers international whitewater trips to exotic locations such as Panama (fall), Chile/Argentina (winter), New Zealand (winter), China (winter), and Bhutan (fall).
	Tarkio Kayak Adventures is proud to offer this amazing list of global whitewater adventures, as well Idaho and Montana-based clinics and trips during our summer season. Weather it is private instruction or an adventurous international Tarkio trip, we think of Brennan and try to simply share our passion and love for rivers just as he did. We wish to invite everyone to paddle with us and become a part of the team. For more information on Tarkio Kayak Adventures email us, or call us at 406-543-4583. See you on the river.
