EQUESTRIAN EXCURSIONS Time to cowboy up. From spectacular views of the legendary Blackfoot River to Jones’ Pond and the endless coniferous forests, our horseback adventures offer a wide-eyed gulp of the Montana wilderness. We’ll send you off with your private wrangler along the edge of a pristine rolling meadow, where you’ll explore a trail forested with ancient ponderosa pines as you rise to a ridge overlooking scenic Paws Up Ranch. Whether you’re an experienced rider or you’ve never been in the saddle before, you’ll lay eyes on site after historical and heart-stirring site during your unforgettable horseback excursion. Junior wrangler and other custom riding programs are available in the Paws Up Saddle Club, Montana’s largest private equestrian center.

LEGENDARY FLY-FISHING Every fisherman has an image of the perfect trout stream: cold waters, stunning scenery, solitude and large, eager fish. Here, you’ll

redefine

your

image of perfect—as you wade through it every day. You’ll cast to rising fish again and again whether you’re wading off the banks of the Bitterroot or floating on the Missouri or Blackfoot rivers. The streams are legendary, much like your fishing tales to come. The South Fork of the Flathead and countless other tributaries tumble straight from high-elevation snowpack and glaciers. These perfectly untamed wilderness rivers offer unrivaled dry fly-fishing for species such as the wild Westslope cutthroat trout. So, if you’d like a chance to find fly-fishing heaven, join us at Paws Up for the angling adventure of a lifetime.

RANCH ACTIVITIES

Paws Up is situated on a sprawling, 37,000-acre working cattle ranch. Join us for authentic Western ranch activities, like

a

cattle

drive.

Novice and advanced riders alike will team up with seasoned ranch hands in driving a herd of cattle for the experience of a lifetime. You’ll saddle up your horse and set out to gather the cattle and trail them to the working corrals, sort them and then trail them back to their home pasture. It’s an unforgettable adventure that will help you discover your inner wrangler. Other ranch activities include a junior wrangler program, scenic wagon rides, wagon team driving lessons, skeet shooting and sporting clays.

LAKE EXCURSIONS

There’s something really wonderful about a glacial lake. Maybe it’s the calm, cerulean surface, inviting you to splash right in. Or maybe it’s the remote beauty and spectacular views of distant, rocky shores. Whatever it is, high-mountain lake excursions from The Resort at Paws Up deliver on the promise of a perfect retreat. Zip around on a personal watercraft, skim along on skis or a wakeboard, soak up glistening rays and ogle the majestic Chain-of-Lakes scenery. Your Paws Up guides will handle everything from launching your boat to serving you a tasty lunch. You’ll have easy access to a wide assortment of wet adventures and relaxing ways to dry yourself off. For anyone who loves the water, this is nature at her very best.

KIDS CORPS OF DISCOVERY The Kids Corps of Discovery is an immersion program that replaces screen time with serene time and idle time with the time of your child’s life. Age-appropriate itineraries are available for toddlers, teens and in-betweens. The Little Discoverers (ages 4–5) will engage in everything from making pizza and ice cream to pony rides and an Old West treasure hunt. Adventure Club (ages 6–12) participants will race go-karts, do cannonballs off a rope swing at the lake, shoot arrows and mine for sapphires. Teens (ages 13–17) will wage epic paintball wars and raft down the Blackfoot River. They’ll all eat delicious and healthy meals and make a ton of new friends. And they’ll do things they never thought they could. The Kids Corps of Discovery gives young people the chance to explore the wonders of Montana and discover themselves at the same time.
