Cheff Guest Ranch and Outfitters Review
This 20,000-acre working cattle ranch at the base of the Mission Mountains lets you take part in ranching life in summer and conducts pack trips from September through November. Hearty breakfasts start off days of trail rides; fishing for trout, bass, bullhead, and perch; and exploration on the nearby Ninepipe National Wildlife Refuge and Kicking Horse Reservoir in the valley below. You can join in on fencing projects, moving stock, and bucking bales of hay. A full range of options is available, from rooms with no services to cabins with all-inclusive packages.
