The adjoining million-acre Absaroka-Beartooth wilderness contains all 28 of the highest peaks in Montana including the 12,970-foot Granite Peak which is Montana's highest peak. Nearby East Rosebud offers tremendous hiking in one of Montana's most popular trails, the Beaten Path, along with great high mountain lakes fishing.
The nearby town of Red Lodge plays host to Red Lodge mountain ski resort as well as the Beartooth Pass and northeast entrance into Yellowstone National Park. Journalist Charles Kuralt called the Beartooth Pass the most scenic highway in America.
Fishing opportunities nearby are abundant with the Stillwater river, west Rosebud Creek, the Yellowstone river and Rock Creek all just a short distance away from the ranch.
Montana's largest city, Billings, is just under one hour away offering the State's top medical care along with Billings Logan International airport and a host of cultural, shopping and dining options.
The hunting on the ranch is absolutely superb offering upland birds, trophy Rocky mountain elk and nice populations of both whitetail deer and mule deer.
Hiking opportunities are abundant with two of the State's premier recreation drainages in West Rosebud and East Rosebud very close by.
The closest small town is Absarokee, Montana which is located right on the Stillwater river, a blue-ribbon fishery, and it is approximately 20 minutes from the ranch. Adventure Whitewater, one of Montana's top rafting companies is also located in Absarokee and rafts on the Stillwater and Yellowstone rivers for the thrill-seekers in the family.
The ranch is approximately 90 minutes away from the northeast entry to Yellowstone National Park located in Cooke City, Montana. The Beartooth Pass is closed in the winter but the Cooke City area of the Yellowstone National Park is accessible through Gardiner, Montana all winter long and is one of the premier snowmobiling destinations in North America.
There are several great locations on the ranch to build a home, or guest houses, that all have phenomenal Beartooth mountain views. Septic permits are run through Montana DNRC, as are the water well approvals. Stillwater County would be the authority in charge of issuing building permits.
Several forks of Fiddler creek run through the ranch creating a nice riparian corridor and there is significant dry land hay ground that should produce great results from a first cutting in June. This makes the ranch well suited to supporting horses.

Rafting near Billings, Montana Movie (HD)
When you're in the great state of Montana, spending time outdoors is mandatory. There's no better way to spend that time than rafting down a mountain river. Just an hour from Billings near the town of Absarokee, there's a perfect river for families looking for a safe, fun ride down the rapids - the Stillwater River. It's a nice class 3 tributary of the Yellowstone River, and the fantastic way to spend a day!
