There is a wealth of activities to enjoy while you are here, and you can choose to do as much or as little as you like. Don’t forget your camera and binoculars.

Horse Back Riding.. Our main activity is the daily horseback ride. Each one taking you to a wonderfully different area. There are both half day and all day rides where we pack a tasty lunch in the saddlebags to eat by a babbling brook or on top of a mountain. Each ride is guided by our expert crew who know the area like the back of their hands and relish sharing it with their guests. We take all level of riders from beginners to expert.

Hiking.. The ranch is surrounded by many trails taking you to some wonderful locations such as Hidden Lake or the top of Mt Wright or Headquarters Pass. It is a great chance to spot some of the wildlife that inhabits this area and the unique vegetation. Visit old indian camping grounds where the stone rings of teepees are still visible or the old “North Trail”, or “Pondera Trail” which the indians traveled with their travois between Canada and points farther south, and later on the Metis as they migrated south out of Canada in their Red River carts to settle in the canyons and foothills here along the “Front”. We can provide expert guides to provide a more informative experience if desired.

Bird Watching...

This area is renowned for its unusual species and is very popular with orinthologists. Grab your binoculars and expect to see Calliope and Rufus hummingbirds from our dining room windows, Dusky Flycatchers, Spruce Grouse, Cassin’s Finch, Red Crossbill, Cinnamon Teal, Ferrungus Hawks, Golden Eagles, Dippers, and the beautiful Western Tananger and Pine Grosbeak among many other breeds.

Wildlife... Montana, and specifically the Rocky Mountain Front, is famed for it’s diverse species of wildlife which have roamed the prairies and the mountains for centuries before mankind came. Most famous for the Grizzly Bear, you can also spot black and brown bear, elk, mule and whitetail deer, bighorn sheep, mountain goats, moose, beaver along the river, and the occasional bobcat, mountain lion or wolf if you’re lucky.

Fishing, Swimming & Tubing..

The ranch is within reach of many lakes and reservoirs as well as being a stone’s throw away from the Teton River. We can arrange a day’s trout fishing or on a warm sunny day float lazily down the river between the mountains on an inner tube.
