Cowboys to Chefs
Ranch Style!
We are taking ranching to a new level - how about a week or weekend on a
Montana ranch - Culinary Expedition Style - good food, wine, kayaking, rock
climbing, biking or the real cowboy adventure - cattle drives, horseback
riding, wagon rides, hay rides and even sleigh rides in the winter!

We are ready to jump into a new exciting culinary themed adventure tour, doing it Ranch Style!  We are designing this
one as we go - but have included our thoughts below and some planned adventures.  Each tour will be designed by a
specialist assigned to your group.  

Some groups will want a more adventurous time, like kayaking or horseback riding; while others will want more calming
events like wagon rides or hiking and biking.  Some may even want a fishing experience - where we have a cook out
and prepare the catch of the day.  It is all open and available for the asking - pricing below is based on our planned or
preplanned trips - but this is a different type of tour and each trip will be designed to your specific needs.

Our Host:

                    
Gaynors Riverbend Ranch & Gaynors Cabins in the Woods
