TWELVE MILES FROM BLACKTOP, MILLIONS OF MILES FROM ORDINARY
As you leave Alder, Montana (population 116) in the rear view mirror and drive the Ruby River Road towards the ranch, you can see the three mountain ranges that create our valley and rise around the lands of Upper Canyon Outfitters. Somewhere back behind you is everything you hope to leave behind for a few days. In front of you is nothing but a warm welcome waiting to be shared and adventure waiting to begin.
OUR LODGEWhen you first pull into the ranch, you’ll see our comfortable lodge directly ahead with an inviting front porch perfect for taking in the Montana air and panoramic mountain views.
The lodge is the hub of activity on the ranch. It’s the place where you can unwind and catch up with friends and other guests over coffee, wine, pre dinner appetizers, and sit down to hearty family-style meals served for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Each meal is prepared in our kitchens with much of the menu sourced from local beef and produce in season. |
