The Blacktail Ranch is an 8,000 acre jewel, located at the base of the Continental Divide, where the Rockies meet the prairie. The South Fork of the Dearborn River flows through the center of the ranch, feeding rich meadows and deep, lush aspen groves. Above the riverbed, unspoiled acres of pine and fir roll into broad fields of native grasses and wildflowers. Come and find out what many already know - The Blacktail is hands down the prettiest ranch around.
The Blacktail Ranch was first homesteaded by our grandfathers in the 1880s and our family has lived and worked in this valley ever since. We have also been offering a variety of vacation options since the 1950s. We are not new to the guest business and know how to take care of all your individual needs.
A few of the things our guests enjoy are an exceptionally beautiful mountain ranch, daily unlimited horseback riding, first class accommodations, three healthy wholesome meals a day and of course, great fishing.
Our large string of horses are able to accommodate a wide variety of riding skills. Both riding and roping instructions are available. In the Spring and Fall, join us for moving cattle to and from the high country and in Mid season, help rotate the cattle's pastures. If you like, sign on for a three day, two night Divider Ride, where you can experience spectacular and expansive views from the rim of the Continental Divide.
