Montana: Canyons, Calderas, & Cowboys

For us, Montana is home. For adventurers, it's paradise.
Welcome to Montana, to our home. To a place we hold near and dear to our hearts. We're excited to share with you our insider's perspective on this 6-day adventure in Big Sky, Yellowstone & Paradise Valley.
Hike with homegrown guides to secluded backcountry vistas and watch as a spectrum of geologic zones unfold - from the snow-capped peaks and river-carved canyon walls of Gallatin Valley, to the geyser-peppered caldera of Yellowstone, to the high pine forests of Paradise Valley. Bike pastoral country roads and along the same pristine waters Brad Pitt fly fished in A River Runs Through It. Paddle raft class II and III rapids through canyons and farmlands, ride horseback into the mountains with a 4th generation Montana cowboy and pause as a shaggy, 2,000-pound bison saunters across the road on a drive through the Hayden Valley. When night falls, relax and recharge with a soak in a soothing hot spring and with Big Sky Country's tastiest cuisine.

A few more reasons why you've gotta go...
- 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.
- The cowboy songs and stories: they just sound better while you're sitting tall in the saddle on a ride up Dome Mountain.
- The 308-foot Lower Falls of the Yellowstone: stumbling upon the Falls at the end of a backcountry hike is one heckuva pleasant surprise.
- Chico Hot Springs Resort: our final resting place, the Chico Resort boasts the best gourmet dining (by far!) in all of Montana.
