We have decided to offer our many years of knowledge about our own backyard, where we ride horses, hike, raft, fish, ski, and watch wolves and grizzlies. For years people have asked our opinion of our favorite places to stay and we have always referred them to other companies.

Not any more!

As many of you know Anne originally met Jim, her husband, while she was traveling through Montana during rodeo week on her first trip to the States. Jim's grandparents had previously been on safari with Anne's parents; thus the bridge between Africa and Montana was first formed for the next generation to cross. Anne decided to visit them in Montana to see what a western cattle ranch was all about and quickly fell in love with the vast landscape, as it was so similar to Africa. After marrying in Nairobi, they made the move to Montana where they followed in Jim's father's footsteps and bought and ran their own ranch.

Jim's family had come out from New York and Lake Forest in the 1940's to make a new life in the West, settling near the Crow Indian Reservation in southern Montana. Jim grew up on the ranch and went to grade school in a one room school house before heading east for further education. Jim is now a partner in one of the largest ranch real estate and management companies in the West (Hall and Hall).

With our intimate knowledge of the West and the activities that can be done here, we can easily create a wonderful weekend getaway, a family holiday, or a corporate retreat. The cost for helping you organize a special western vacation is no different if you work with us or contact the properties directly. The advantage you get by working with us is that we will be very candid with you about the particular experience and differences in the properties and can help find space over the summer when you decide to make that last minute trip. There are hundreds of dude ranches, lodges, guides, and places to explore and we will help you sift through all the choices.

In addition to offering western activities close to our home, and keeping in line with our goals of searching for remote and wild areas, we will be featuring exploratory trips to rarely visited regions in North America.
