One
of the best things about Montana Hill Guest Ranch is that
you can thoroughly enjoy all four seasons. Wildlife abounds
and you just might see black bear, coyote, fox, marmot, lynx,
moose, mule deer, whitetail deer and timber wolf. Children
of all ages will enjoy the menagerie of ranch animals - cats,
dogs, chickens, pygmy goats and, of course, the horses.
And
after a hard day in the saddle, or just to treat yourself,
you can indulge in a full range of esthetic services, plus
massage and reflexology therapies. These services can be provided
in the lodge's treatment room or in the privacy of your cabin.
Please arrange for these services when you book your stay
with us.
We
are happy to create any custom holiday package with a variety
of activities. Please feel free to contact us with your wish
list.
Around
the Ranch
Badminton, croquet, horseshoes, football and volleyball
are always available. Children will enjoy the playground with
trampoline. Special activities such as pony rides, scavenger
hunts and nature walks can be planned around your children's
individual abilities.
MAY
TO OCTOBER
The
main warm weather activity is horseback riding, but you can
also enhance your stay in many other ways. We've listed a
few of them below:
Horseback
Riding
We cater to individual abilities from amateur to accomplished,
and we take great care to match you with the proper horse
for the duration of your stay. We can also provide instruction
at any time.
Groups
are led by an experienced wrangler and consist of a maximum
of six riders matched according to ability. Experience the
thrill of riding across miles of varied terrain and exploring
the spectacular South Cariboo scenery. Choose a morning and
afternoon ride with lunch at the lodge in between, or set
out for the day with saddlebags packed for lakeside dining.
Fishing
If you're an angler, there is no shortage of lakes in which
to test your luck. In fact, there are 125 within an hour's
drive! Boat, float tubes, rods, reels and professional guiding
are also available. Highway 24, known as the Fishing Highway,
is a destination for fly fishermen from around the world.
Boating,
Canoeing and Swimming
Head down to the docks at Montana Lake for boating and swimming.
A 5 minute drive or 20 minute walk will have you at the waterfront.
Birdwatching,
Hiking and Photography
Especially in the early summer, wildflowers carpet the grassland
with a virtual explosion of color. A nearby Ducks Unlimited
project is a birdwatcher's paradise, and photographers will
find an abundance of subjects, both living and still, to capture
with their lenses.
Other
Activities
ATV rentals and go-kart racing are minutes away.
Bison ranch tours, golf and whitewater rafting are all within
an hour drive.
WINTER
If crisp, sun-filled days in the snow are your pleasure,
join us in the Cariboo's winter wonderland. Experience the
anticipation of ice fishing and the serenity of snowshoeing.
Cross-country skiing, skating and tobogganing are also popular
activities. With the extensive trail system, including the
Gold Rush Trail, each day can be the start of a new adventure!
Christmas
is family time and there is no better place to enjoy it than
at Montana Hill Guest Ranch. Let us take care of all the details
while you focus on making holiday memories that will last
a lifetime.
Harness
the Power - Ride the Spirit
This
exhilarating new activity is dog sledding! Imagine the excitement
of being at the helm of your own team of dogs and steering
them across miles of pristine snow-covered wilderness under
the watchful tutelage of experts. This is truly an experience
you will never forget.
