Montana is a place of vast prairies, spectacular snow-covered mountains, verdant forests, and wild rivers and streams. Its land is filled with wildlife, its waters bountiful with fish.
The Bob Marshall Wilderness Complex is known as the "crown jewel" of this wilderness system. There is high drama here and there is great peace. Our trips begin where the Great Plains rise to meet the Rocky Mountains. We climb with the land, from trout-rich rivers through lodgepole forest and alpine meadows to towering limestone cliffs. This is the home of the tiny shooting star and the 600 pound grizzly bear, the mischievous Clark's nutcracker and the stately elk. In the glacial sweep of low meadow and aspen groves, we often spot whitetail and mule deer. High basins may yield fossils of unlikely sea plants, sponges and shellfish, as well as today's living inhabitants, the pika, marmot, mountain goat and eagle. These trips are run our guides Ron and Tucker who were born and raised on a cattle ranch in the Augusta area and have packed and guided here since 1959. This is a a small, quality, family operation that takes pride in good stock, equipment, food, camp facilities, and an experienced crew.

The heart of our Montana wilderness operation is a base camp in the White River, just four miles from the continental divide and many well known landmarks, such as the Chinese Wall, Needle Falls, Flathead Alps, Big Salmon Lake and many others. There are also many other areas of interest nearby that not as well known, such as the "Lost World of Peggy Creek," for example. This area affords good opportunities to see wildlife in one of the last natural strongholds in North America, and many opportunities to fish for native cutthroat, both big and small. Montana has been called the "last best place." Come see why.
