Montana Dude Ranches
Montana is an inland U.S. state largely in the western United States, but because of its immense size stretches into the north-central United States. Although Montana is often regarded as mountainous, about 60% of the state is actually prairie in the Great Plains. The central and western two-thirds of the state have numerous mountain ranges (approximately 77 named) of the northern Rocky Mountains; thus the state's name, derived from the Spanish word monta ("mountain"). The state nickname is the "Treasure State." Other nicknames include "Land of Shining Mountains", "Big Sky Country", and the slogan "the last best place".

Today, descendants of some of those very same families still come here to experience the mythic beauty of the Old West, in a place that's very nearly the same as it was back in 1925 when the ranch first opened to guests. Each guest is treated as family upon the first visit.
