We don’t mind saying it: there’s no place better than right here in the summertime.

You’ll start your day with a hearty Montana breakfast, then pursue whatever appeals to you. That might be anything from high-mountain adventure, to the quiet, secluded enjoyment of your own private cabin porch. This precise location offers some of the best horseback riding, fishing, canoeing, kayaking, whitewater rafting, hiking, mountain biking, wildlife viewing and photography, and scenic touring anywhere in the world – and it’s all right outside your door at Covered Wagon Ranch.

Lots of folks visit here specifically for the fly fishing. We’re surrounded by some of the best fly fishing waters in the world, including over 120 miles of blue-ribbon water in the Gallatin Canyon alone, plus all the legendary waters of Yellowstone National Park, the famed Madison River and the Henry’s Fork. Within these beautiful clear streams, you have a chance to see plentiful rainbows, browns and native cutthroat trout.

Before nightfall, you’re summoned to another delicious home-cooked meal in the lodge by the gentle clang of the dinner bell. Then the night is yours for a soak in the hot tub and a view of more stars than you’ve ever seen before – the clear skies and the high elevation give you a unique look at the heavens.
