- The Montana High Country Cattle Drive annually welcomes guests to participate in authentic western cattle drives. Montana High Country Cattle
Drive
We've added a new page called Itinerary and Distinctions between Drives . We answer a lot of questions we get about what you'll do each day, and the difference between the three drives. Check it out!! ********************************** Our first cattle drive in 2010 our first June drive will be a singles drive in which we encourage all single riders to join us on a horseback adventure that may also offer romance!************************************************************* The ranches in our river valley in southwestern Montana have moved their cattle from winter range to the mountain pastures of the Big Belt Mountains since the 1870's. The cattle drive on which you will ride is a continuation of that tradition, modified only by shorter days, better food, great entertainment, and porta potties. The ranchers who will accompany you on your cattle drive have been conducting recreational cattle drives every summer since 1992. One of the primary differences between our cattle drives and other recreational cattle drives is that our drives are not staged. These herds of cattle would be making the trip to the mountains even if we didn't have guests. Another difference is that we also provide informational programs about modern cattle ranching and the natural and geological history of Montana. You will also have the opportunity to learn how to fly fish in one of the nearby trout streams or to learn to throw a lariat rope. Once the nightly entertainment programs conclude the guitar pickers drift in from outside the campfire light and those assembled join in song. We definitely emphasize quantity over quality. Perhaps you can help. After the herd is delivered to summer pasture, we celebrate with an old fashioned barn dance. If you are looking for western adventure in the Rocky Mountains, the Montana High Country Cattle Drive may be your ticket to the experience of a life time. We have attempted to provide you with all the information you would want to know about our cattle drives on this website. So we invite you to click on the "info", "photos" , "Prices/Dates" or other related links at left or to call or email us for any specific questions. Hope to see you on the trail next summer!
