Directions & Travel Tips
The Rich Ranch is located along the Blackfoot River Valley in the Rocky Mountains of western Montana - next to the Bob Marshall Wilderness - and surrounded by over one million acres of state and national forest for you to enjoy. Glacier National Park is a scenic two-hour drive north and Yellowstone is 4 1/2 hours south. We provide complimentary shuttle service from the Missoula Airport (Delta, American, Alaska, Allegiant, Frontier, United), which is a one-hour drive from the ranch.
