Activities
We have no social organization and no television. Guests are free to enjoy the ranch as they wish. There are dinner rides, swimming in the creek, hiking and wonderful photographic opportunities. Evenings are filled with good conversation, an impromptu sing-along by a campfire, a game of horseshoes or billiards, star-gazing or an occasional brilliant display of the Northern lights, if not an awe-inspiring lightning storm. Trips to enjoy our rich cultural heritage can be arranged to ghost towns, museums, Indian ceremonials, Yellowstone Park and rodeos.
Riding: This is our main activity whether we're working cattle or scenic riding: six days a week over a scope that ranges from high alpine lakes and meadows to the foothills and out into the lower rolling country of our winter ranch. Daily we offer short and long all-day rides as well as morning and afternoon rides. Those who want to ride bareback can. Each guest is welcome to care for his own horse and tack, as well as help wrangle the horses before breakfast. With over 40 horses to choose from, we can get a good fit for any rider. We love our country, and sharing it. As Charlie Russell said," You can see what man made from the seat of an automobile, but the best way to see what God made is from the back of a horse." Horses are a warm, wonderful, as well as necessary, part of our lives; they are honest friends who will take you for ranch work, spectacular rides, or games of tag.
Fishing: There is challenging dry fly fishing in the clear, rushing waters of the Sweet Grass; the Brown trout love the deep, shadowed pools below the falls. Mountain lakes also are good rainbow trout fishing while the stocked beaver ponds offer an easier approach closer to the ranch, and one the kids really enjoy. Except for the ponds, we encourage catch and release fishing.
