Beartooth
River Ranch
History, superb landscapes and ranch activities.
Don’t just
take our word for it—It’s all here for you to discover.
Known for working ranch vacations with a personal touch, Beartooth
River Ranch is well situated near Yellowstone National Park for year
round holiday and vacation packages.
Michael and Tanya Pelican welcome you to “kick off your boots,
hang your hat and make yourself at home.” Share the ranch with
them and learn what it takes to be in the cattle business. Observe
the farming that sustains the ranching operation. This generational
Montana ranching family does it all.
Ask us why we do what we do and we will tell
you it’s for our
children. Daughter Fallon (age 9) loves youth rodeo, son Cole (age
7) ropes anything that will stand for it, and son Chance (age 3) never
misses a thing.
The Beartooth River Ranch makes its home along the banks of the Clarks
Fork of the Yellowstone near Belfry, Montana. The ranch is located
in the foothills of the scenic Beartooth Mountains with panoramic views
including the Absarokee Mountains and the Pryor Mountains. There is
everything from mountain forests to rolling hills and meadows across
their almost 40,000 acres of ranch land with plenty of opportunities
for authentic ranch riding, gathering, and cattle drives.
