Welcome to Rich’s Montana Guest Ranch, owned and operated by three generations of the Rich family. We invite you to come and share in the cowboy lifestyle with us. Recharge your inner self. Blend as a family, live your dream, and make memories that you will never forget.

Our dude ranch is a great choice for friends to meet, long awaited family reunions, couples get-aways, group retreats and unique and memorable weddings. Single travelers are welcome. You will feel a part of the family as we invite you into our home ranch setting. Make new friends, reconnect with family, and take joy in each moment.

There is something for everyone. Guests at the ranch choose from a variety of activities including horseback riding, fishing, hiking, biking, or maybe just relaxing. All ages can enjoy campfires, horse-drawn wagon rides, cowboy singing, star gazing at night and more. We customize each vacation based on our guests personal preferences. The Rich Ranch experience is individualized and our schedule is flexible.

The horse has always been the center of our love and life, a tradition that seems to pass on quietly from one generation to the next. We take pride in our family heritage and are honored to be descendants of some of the strong and independent personalities that forged the west. We are 5th generation Montanans and our pioneer families made their living with horses from stage coaches to 14 mule hitch lines that made supply in the late 1800’s.

Today we enjoy sharing our cowboy lifestyle with others while riding and exploring the amazing country that surrounds us here in the Blackfoot/Clearwater Valley and the Bob Marshall Wilderness. We follow the tails that were once the routes of explorers, trappers and Native Americans. There is a sense of wonder and discovery that no ride is ever the same and each day brings something new to see. Our dude ranch is open year round and we invite you to our website to view our winter season adventures including snowmobiling, snowshoeing, x-country skiing, sleigh rides and more.
