Welcome to horse whispering country! We are located in the mountains of southwestern Montana. If you look on a
map and find Helena, you'll see a large lake called Canyon Ferry Lake. Our cattle drives wind through the Big Belt
Mountains just east of Townsend. Our map on the map page shows you the area.

We don't know if you have ever been on a cattle drive. We hope that you haven't and are planning to go on one of
our cattle drives this year. We generally have three cattle drives every year. This year (1999) the dates are:

The First Thing That Puts Us Above The Rest
|
|
|
|---|
Our drives give all riders the opportunity to really move cattle. Many other cattle drives move a few cattle. During
our drives, guests move between 400 and 1000 head of cattle. To give each guest the possibility to chase cattle
we have a number of mini cattle drives going on within the large cattle drive.
The Second Thing That Puts Us Above The Rest
Most cattle drives offered in the West go across the mountain plains. Our cattle drives go right through the mountains.
The Third Thing That Puts Us Above The Rest

Next, we can offer you more than just a cattle drive. Along with the cattle drive, we have educational opportunities,
intellectual offerings, and additional entertainment. We offer the guests a chance to learn flyfishing and roping.
There are creeks that offer flyfishing opportunities at most camps. We have a Cowboy Poetry night. One evening
we have a History Night where we try to share with our guests a glimpse of the Indian, gold mining, ghost town,
and natural history of the local area. There is even a Country Dance night and a special Award's Night. Blended
in with it all, are evenings of campfire song, trail rides, and laughter.
The Fourth Thing That Puts Us Above The Rest
|
|
|
|---|
We are located close to Yellowstone National Park (120 miles) so that you may be able to include a trip there in
your itinerary. Virginia City (90 miles), an Old West mining town, is nearby, as is the State museum in Helena
(30 miles). You may contact one of individual ranches about spending time before or after the drive if you would
like to spend more time riding.
The Fifth Thing That Puts Us Above The Rest
|
|
|
|---|
Next, we offer a wagon train ride for those guests who don't want to ride a horse but would like to participate
in the cattle drive. Just relax on the trail and join the crew every afternoon at camp.
The Sixth Thing That Puts Us Above The Rest
|
|
|
|---|
Last, we are the real thing. No made-up cattle drive. We offer one of the few chances to experience one of the
fading remnants of the Old West. A real cattle drive.
|
|

Often we see wildlife along the trail. One day you take a trail ride just to look for elk or deer.
We hope to see you this summer on our cattle drives.
