Join us at Bear Creek Guest Ranch
For one of our truly unforgettable horseback riding adventures. For over 40 years, our family has specialized in genuine Western hospitality, small-group riding experiences, and sharing the authentic ranch lifestyle with every guest who rides with us.
We take you into some of the most breathtaking country Montana has to offer—wide-open plains, rugged mountain trails, and the hidden gems of Glacier Country. Our trips are intentionally kept small, ensuring personalized attention, meaningful connections, and an incredible experience both in and out of the saddle.
Off The Beaten Path
Finally, we've put the finishing touches on an elite horseback adventure that has become one of the most in demand year after year. We'll be riding this coming June, 2027 from the Heart Butte country north almost to the Canadian border. "Off the Beaten Path" says a whole lot! You're going to see some of the most spectacular country in North America.
We're putting everything we know how to do into this very special horseback riding vacation. No one does it like us! The Off the Beaten Path week at Bear Creek Ranch combines the best in those qualities that make your horseback vacation trip unforgettable, and "Unbranded."

Riding the 4 Winds
Always a winner for folks who like colors!!
We'll be offering horseback adventure vacations to take advantage of those special Fall days this year, 2027. We're going to be riding in sections of the countryside that are beautiful beyond belief, are rarely visited, and offer as much color contrast as the country has to offer. You'll be riding in some of the best "stuff" I know.
We're going to ride easily and with lots of stops in just the right places to rest, photograph, eat lunch, and with any luck, watch a grizzly eating berries! You'll be home each evening to the ranch before a wonderful dinner served around 7pm. There's nothing like an evening at Bear Creek Ranch, enjoying a glass of wine and visiting with your new friends. Our cabins are clean, private and cozy and you'll be sure to get a great night's sleep.
Best of Both Worlds
We’re excited to announce a brand-new addition to our 2027 calendar — the “Best of Both Worlds” Riding Week!
This special vacation week offers the ultimate combination of adventure and authenticity. Riders will spend part of the week exploring the spectacular trails of the Montana Rocky Mountains, experiencing some of the most breathtaking scenery and unforgettable riding our region has to offer. The other part of the week will take you out onto the Prarie, where you’ll get hands-on with real ranch work, pushing cattle from Summer to Winter pasture, all while experiencing the traditions that shape this unique part of the West.
It’s a one-of-a-kind opportunity to enjoy the best of both worlds — high-country mountain trails and authentic ranch life — all in one incredible week. Whether you’re seeking new challenges, cultural connection, or simply the joy of riding through stunning country, this is an experience you won’t want to miss. It does get chilly in Montana in October so be sure to bring a jacket for this one!!

Travel insurance:
We strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance, such as Faye, and reviewing coverage for medical emergencies, cancellations and trip interruptions.
We understand that our guests are booking these trips many months in advance in order to secure their spot. During that time, many things can happen including life changing circumstances that prevent the ability to travel for your trip. Consequently, we highly recommend trip insurance for those rare occasions. With trip insurance you can be reimbursed for any non-fundable payments made, thereby securing your vacation and peace of mind.
Trip insurance is affordable and easy to get. We recommend using “Faye Travel Insurance,” due to its easy online platform and affordability.
