LOCATION
We are located about 26 miles northwest of Big Timber, Montana (the small "X" just above Big Timber on the map) smack dab in the middle of the Crazy Mountains. If you are coming from Billings (80 miles east on I-90) or Bozeman (70 miles west on I-90), just take the first exit into Big Timber, then go 11.5 miles north on US HWY 191. There you will see a large sign on the left that says "Big Timber Canyon". Turn left (west) onto the gravel road and follow it for about 2.5 miles until you come to a second, smaller sign on your right that says "Big Timber Canyon." (The road "bends" to the left after you leave the pavement, so you'll be headed due south when you see the second sign.) Turn right at the second sign (you are now headed due west towards the mountains) and follow the road for about 13 miles. We are right in the middle of the mountains, so as long as you can see the power lines, you're ok!
On the way:
The view west from US 191 about 9 miles north of Big Timber.
On top of the "Vic Hill" - after traveling about 6-7
miles on gravel.
About 4 miles to go.
Getting close! The first view of the ranch about a mile
after crossing the US Forest Service boundary marker and cattle
guard.
