Saddle up for a true Western adventure! Perfect for beginners and pros alike, experience the spectacular scenery of Paradise Valley on this guided horseback trek along the Blue Flower Trail. No worries about directions or navigation; simply follow your guide and you can focus on capturing photos of the striking vistas. Each of our members has a passion for the outdoors, animals, and wildlife. They will entertain you with facts about the ranch and the surrounding area. With the majestic Absaroka Mountains as your backdrop, learn about the land’s original inhabitants, the Crow tribe, and the local ecosystem. Be sure to bring your binoculars – and camera! – as you may have the unique opportunity to view some of Montana’s natural inhabitants, including mule deer, golden eagles, fox, elk, and more! It is the Certified Horsemanship Association’s recommendation that the weight of the rider does not exceed 20% of the weight of the horse. We can accommodate a maximum weight of 220 pounds. We ask that you meet at the Lodge 15 minutes prior to the start of the ride so that you can be given safety instructions. Please wear long pants and closed-toe shoes. Also bring a water bottle and your sense of adventure! Finally, this trail ride is completely dependent upon weather conditions. In the event that the weather is not suitable for the ride, we will reschedule or refund your tour.

The baby goats are arriving NOW for 2024! 18 kids born so far. Expecting more every day! We will relax and pet goats in the fields or hike to the river. This is a small herd of friendly milk goats. My son and I have raised these goats since they were babies, so they are very friendly and calm! All of the activity will be on my farm in field and woods. The amount of walking or exploring is group dependent. Goats love to eat and go on walks! They will also impress us with their climbing and curiosity. Many times of year we have baby goats--"kids" that are fun to pet. We also milk the goats-primarily in the summertime--you will get a chance to milk goats if you'd like! My son Adam will also be hosting some of the walks.Our farm is located in Gallatin Gateway

The Scavenger Hunt on our 100-acre property will take you on a 2-hour-long adventure through the forests and mountains of our property -The Hohnstead. Along the way, 6 active stations await you, such as splitting wood, panning for GOLD, using a slingshot, guessing riddles, identifying trees and wildlife, using a bow and arrows and more! Covering around 3 miles of a mountainous and forested area, should give you a great workout, a memorable adventure and a chance to connect to nature. We believe that the more time you spend in the forest, the better you feel, they don't call it Forest Therapy (Shinrin Yoku) for nothing.

If you don’t see a time in the calendar, you can request a date & time! Make your own slippers or mittens from raw wool! Have you always wondered how wool is made into a wearable, felted clothing or accessory? This class will show you the transformation of fluffy wool to cozy slippers/mittens! This experience will walk you through how to make your own slippers or mittens from wool. We will use the "wet felting" technique to shape & size your own warm and cozy mittens or slippers or make a pair to give as a gift! We will start in a rustic Art Studio cabin & I will show you the basic steps prior to starting & work with you as you layer the fluffy wool into the shape of the pattern. As the class progresses, we will add warm, soapy water & start the felting process! The final step is finishing your mittens or slippers by fitting them to your hands or feet while they are still damp. You will take them home slightly wet, but they should dry by morning. Wet felting is method interlocking & compacting of wool fibers which are first drenched in soap water & then rubbed until fabric has the same thickness. Individual wool fibers are covered with small scales. When water & pressure from rubbing are applied the scales open up & the fibers tangle together. When the felt dries fibers stay tangled. Great for team building & corporate events! Located in Gallatin Gateway

We will stroll approximately 1.5 miles on a dirt trail to see Missoula's best array of native plants. I will show guests all of our wonderful native wildflowers, shrubs, trees, mosses and lichens. We will also talk about their unique uses for food, medicine, dye and cordage, to name just a few. We will also learn how animals use these plants for survival. There is some elevation gain and loss.

I've been hiking in Missoula for 22 years and know the best spots to see the most wildlife, wildflowers and solitude. I'll take you on one of my favorite secret 5 mile hikes in Missoula, home to wild animals such as deer, black bears, red-tailed hawks, bluebirds and dozens of other bird species. Our hike passes through a mature ponderosa pine/Douglas fir forest and a 19-year old burn that has lush regrowth and lots of wildlflowers. From the highest point of the hike you will see the entire Missoula valley as well as the spectacular Mission Mountain Range 20 miles north of Missoula. I am a Master Naturalist and Certified Interpretive Guide and if you are interested I can share my knowledge about the flora and fauna as well as the fascinating geology of Glacial Lake Missoula while we hike. I'll provide new, high-quality binoculars to borrow if you need them! Homemade cookies too! *This hike is for those in relatively good physical shape. It ascends a total of around 500 feet in elevation then drops 500 feet in elevation and the terrain has rocks and tree roots in places.

Spend an hour in our rustic barn with a guide and one of our beautiful horses in what can best be described as an equine spa day. You will get to groom and pet the horses—then tack one up (place saddles, stirrups, bridles, halters, reins, bits, and harnesses), for a ride in our indoor arena. You can bask in the serene energy of these gentle giants, and in turn they will benefit from kind touch and some extra TLC. Horses are known to mirror their rider’s emotions, which means they can easily establish connection with humans. This hands-on experience is designed to be an hour of immersive collaboration between man and beast. Other things to note: Please note this tour is designed for up to 4 participants, so come alone or bring a friend. When registering please provide rider’s heights and weights, as our horses can hold various sizes. Too tall or heavy? No worries, you can still participate!

Follow the lead of our equestrian adventure as we show you to a true hidden gem – Chimney Rock – and enjoy a gold mine of mountain views. Once you arrive, take a break and behold this giant piece of rock that rests at an elevation of 7,650 feet and overlooks three different mountain ranges: the Absaroka, the Bridger and the Gallatin Ranges. As we set out for our return, prepare yourself (and your camera) for another opportunity to soak in the stunning scenery that makes our ranch so special. Some previous horseback riding experience is recommended for guests of the Chimney Rock Trail Ride. By taking this breathtaking journey with us, you not only create lifelong memories for you and your party – you make our mission possible.

*Please reach out with any questions or to request special needs, accommodations, requests for younger children, or a different time or day. I will take guests around a small area in the town of Red Lodge, Montana or nearby and introduce them to wild plants! Many people think of these as weeds or simply wildflowers, but they have amazing medicinal qualities that I can share. There’s nothing quite like getting to know your backyard, urban, and forest plants and these are common all over the country as well as other countries. We will slowly walk around the neighborhood or forested area or maybe where your own Airbnb accommodations are while I ask questions and make sure the walk and talk is touching on desired subjects. I want guests to leave with knowledge they didn’t have before and appreciate how abundant these helpful plants are - for medicine or simply to make a healthier and more delicious meal. Other things to note: This is not a hike. We will walk slowly and for less than a mile. Very flat and easy. Bring water if it’s hot or a rain jacket if it looks like it may rain. In addition, as I was a wildlife biologist for many years, I can tailor your experience to include more conversations about the local wildlife.
