Create Memories
Take Your family on the ultimate adventure
Horseback riding, fly fishing, skiing, private trips into Yellowstone National Park, and even your own rodeo. Lone Mountain Ranch makes an ideal family reunion spot because we make it possible to take in all these exploits from a single home base.
Experience
New Adventrures from season to season
Our 25 renovated cabins of different sizes accommodate as many as 120 people, so big families love to buy out and take over the whole place. Smaller reunion parties have the time of their lives, too, with adventures for all ages and great dining that will bring you all together at mealtime. We’ll help you create an itinerary that appeals to every generation and ability level in your group and give you some adult- and kid-only special activities, too. Over the years, we’ve crafted great itineraries for our repeat family reunion guests.Â
We can propose one for your group or start from scratch and build it together. Families love our horse meet and greets, private rodeo, watching the running of the horses on our Great Lawn, and a cowboy BBQ feast fit for your group of pioneers. Kids can split off for their own roping course with our wranglers while parents do a wine tasting at Lytle Bar, and kids’ can have their own dinner and movie night while parents hang out in our members-only Auric Room supper club. Bring the family together for a photo session on the Ridge and have a little healthy competition with a Family Olympics on the Great Lawn. We specialize in making unforgettable family memories, year after year. Every season at the ranch is a great time for a family reunion.

Discover Family Friendly Adventures
Horseback Riding
For over a century, Lone Mountain Ranch’s team of horses has brought ranchers and visitors into parts of the backcountry that are otherwise unseen and untouched.
Yellowstone National Park Tours
Lone Mountain Ranch has a century-long tradition of curating Yellowstone Park experiences – from the history and geology, to the backcountry and wildlife.
Guided Hiking
Join one of our Lone Mountain Ranch Naturalists for an adventure on the trail. Our naturalist will help choose a trail that matches your ability level and expectations.
Outdoor Youth Adventure Program
This program builds confidence through outdoor recreation, develops an appreciation for nature, and most of all gives young people (aged 3-14) the space to roam, have fun, and connect with each other.
Fly Fishing
Situated between the world-famous Madison and Gallatin Rivers, Lone Mountain Ranch is the idyllic place to fish blue ribbon rainbow, brown brook trout, and native west slope cutthroat trout.
Canoeing and Paddle Boarding
Choose from two offerings throughout your week at Lone Mountain Ranch. Take a short, half day trip to Lake Levinsky here in Big Sky or expand your horizons in a full day journey to Hebgen Lake in West Yellowstone.
Experience
Outdoor Youth Adventure
The Ranch is as much a playground for kids as it is for adults. Our daily summer youth program for kids (ages 3-14) builds confidence through outdoor recreation, develops an appreciation for nature, and gives kids the space to roam and have fun during the summer months.
