All-Inclusive Activities with Sign-ups

Sign-ups for these included activities are Thursday night from 5:00–6:00 p.m. at the Main Lodge.

Breakfast Camp

It is only a quick ride up the mountain to a full pancake, egg, and bacon breakfast. A big pot of coffee will be heating over the open fire to help take the chill off when you reach camp.

Yoga

A brisk walk up to the Hideout will start you off, not a long distance but a good climb! Relax in your flow with the best lake view on property. Meet at the Main Lodge.

Guided Hikes

Hike the Montana mountains and enjoy the flora and fauna with spectacular views and scenery.

Guided Mountain Biking

The Ranch has developed trails on the property for beginners to advanced riders; life is too short not to go big!

Archery

Join us on our 3-D archery course. Our instructor will start you off with a lesson, then guide you along the 1-mile walking course as you practice your skills on 10 different targets.

Horseback Trail Rides

Our horseback trail rides will go up and down hills, cross small streams and meander through the brush. Expect an hour to an hour and a half ride.

Boating Excursions

CRUISER
The sporty Stancraft is a 1960’s U.S. Coast guard design, and one of Stancraft's first forays into fiberglass boat making. Originally started on the west shore of Flathead Lake, Stancraft continues to produce some of the highest quality wood powerboats available today. The Flathead River trip is always a favorite, allowing for a unique change in scenery and great Bald Eagle and Osprey viewing.

Pinzgauer Tours

Take one of Doug’s favorite toys deep into the Ranch’s elk preserve. While the elk may be shy, views are guaranteed.

Guided Bike Ride

Join us for a 4-mile bike ride along the scenic Swan River.
