Hunt It

Fall: Lodging, Meals, and Guided or Unguided Hunts.
Over 800,000 acres of wilderness starts right outside our door. From elk to mule deer, whitetail, and antelope, the country holds them all. We offer both guided and unguided hunting trips across terrain our family has managed for over a century. Hunting elevations reach up to 9,000 feet — country as challenging as it is rewarding.

Explore It

Summer: Lodging, Meals, and a Mix of All Activities.
Montana is a state of endless adventure for guests who want to discover it all.

About the Ranch

Upper Canyon Outfitters sits in the Ruby Valley of southwest Montana, surrounded by the Snowcrest, Greenhorn, and Gravelly mountain ranges.

Guests come for the fishing, the hunting, the riding, and the wide-open country. What surprises most of them is how much they also remember the people. The guide who knew exactly where to put them on the river. The conversations at the bar before dinner. The table where people who had never met on Sunday are exchanging numbers by Friday.

We’re remote enough that you’ll feel it the moment you arrive. We’re prepared enough that you never have to think about it twice. When you’re here, you’re not just a customer. You’re a guest in our home — and there’s a difference.
