Hardscrabble Guest Ranch Activities
For our adventurous guest, our guest ranch offers mountain bike trails on the top of the property. These trails are used all year for hiking, biking, horse-back riding, and skiing. There is a creek located by the glamping tents for those wanting to cool off in the summer or do Montana “surfing”. Many of our guest enjoy fishing along the creek.
Not all our guests come for adventure. We have hammocks around the guest ranch, comfortable chairs for reading, gardens, barns, and animals that animate the most simple walk, we hope you enjoy the yak herd. Internet access is limited, but available. Most folks appreciate unplugging.
We do take s’more roasting and corn-hole tournaments pretty seriously. Just saying.
