Distinctive Accommodations
6 days/5 nightsNights 1 & 2: 320 Guest Ranch
Your Montana vacation starts at 320 Guest Ranch, which offers exceptional cowboy comfort just south of Big Sky Ski Resort, where the pristine Gallatin River winds through sage and towering pines, and mountains rise up against crystal blue skies.
Night 3: Lake Yellowstone Hotel or Lake Lodge
Lake Yellowstone Hotel was originally completed in 1891 and restored to its 1920s grandeur in 1990. The majestic hotel sits on the shore of Yellowstone Lake and is listed on the Register of Historic Places. Lake Lodge is an inviting location where cozy cabins provide a family-friendly atmosphere. The main lodge houses a delightful lobby where two fireplaces, a lounge and gift store warmly beckon guests to linger and chat.
Nights 4 & 5: Chico Hot Springs Resort
This rustic-chic inn boasts mineral hot spring-fed pools, extensive gardens, spa services and exceptional dining. In June of 1999 Chico Hot Springs was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

A few more reasons why you've gotta go...
1. The geologic diversity: the river-carved canyons of the Gallatin, Yellowstone's volcanic caldera and the glacier carved Paradise Valley are a sight to be seen.
2. The cowboy songs and stories: they just sound better while you're sitting tall in the saddle on a ride up Dome Mountain.
3. The 308-foot Lower Falls of the Yellowstone: stumbling upon the Falls at the end of a backcountry hike is one heckuva pleasant surprise.
4. Chico Hot Springs Resort: Chico Resort boasts the best gourmet dining (by far!) in all of Montana.
