Fodor's Expert Review 63 Ranch

184 Bruffey Ln, Livingston, Montana, USA

Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.

Owned by the same family since 1929, this 2,000-acre working cattle ranch is one of Montana's oldest dude ranches. Weeklong packages include a full range of activities, from horseback riding to fishing to helping check or move cattle. The rustic cabins are commodious yet comfortable, with log furniture and private baths.

PROS

  • guests describe the number of riding trails as inexhaustible
  • even cautious riders report feeling secure accompanied by wranglers

CONS

  • 5,600-foot altitude might take some getting used to
  • daily rates require three-day minimum stay and Sunday arrival
