Since we opened as a dude ranch in 1929, Mountain Sky Guest Ranch has topped the list of the nation's upscale guest ranch resorts.  The secret of our success lies not only with the breathtaking views, fine food, world-class facility and the many activities that we offer, but also with the staff that we assemble year after year.  When you arrive, you are welcomed into the Mountain Sky family by the warm and friendly employees that truly set us apart.  With a rebooking rate of over 80%, we've watched more than a few families grow together over the years.  Arrival days during our family season feel more like a family reunion than an orientation.  We're here not only to provide you with the best in Western hospitality, but to share with you our friendship, our experiences, and our passion for the land.

Just a 40 minute drive to the north entrance of Yellowstone National Park, Mountain Sky sits on nearly 9,000 acres of rugged, unspoiled Montana countryside.  Our trail rides and hikes will take guests along the heavily-forested banks of Big Creek, along dramatic ridgelines, and across sweeping expanses of open sage land.  Views of majestic Emigrant Peak, and of the Yellowstone River meandering through the aptly-named Paradise Valley, will be sure to take your breath away.  Wildlife and wildflowers can be found in abundance, and our knowledgeable wranglers and hiking guides are happy to educate on the flora, fauna, and the rich history of the area.

One of our most important offerings here at Mountain Sky is our kids program.  We realize the importance of providing the vacation experience of a lifetime for each and every member of your family, particularly the kids.  Our morning and afternoon sessions cater to children 6 and under who are too young to ride on our trails, and feature lead-line rides, crafts, nature walks, scavenger hunts, afternoons spent at the pool, and whatever else our inventive counselors can come up with.  During the evenings, youth of all ages, infant to teen, are invited to dine with the counselors and enjoy evening programming that caters more to their tastes.  Field games, camouflage capture-the-flag, a talent show, and off-site excursions to area attractions for the teens are just a few of the activities offered to keep our younger guests entertained.
