Description
The Lodge at Sun Ranch is an eco lodge in Southwest Montana's upper Madison River Valley, 40 minutes from one of the nation's jewels, Yellowstone National Park.
At The Lodge at Sun Ranch you'll be introduced to some of the world's best fly fishing on the Blue Ribbon waters of the Madison, Gallatin, Henry's Fork and Yellowstone Rivers. Hiking, horseback riding, canoe excursions and wildlife watching also acquaint you with this spectacular region in the Big Sky state.
Whether you ride the range with seasoned wranglers, take a canoe trip with a gourmet picnic, or simply listen to the rustle of aspens from the wrap-around deck, you'll come away with a deeper appreciation of the Rocky Mountain landscape and the importance of the wilderness as a precious resource.
The dream of developing a new model for appropriate and sustainable tourism inspired Roger and Cindy Lang to establish The Lodge at Sun Ranch. Underlying their vision is the creation of a place where learning and active experiences impart sensitivity and appreciation for the land and local communities.
As proud as they are of their facility, programs, cuisine, and setting in the South Madison Valley, it is their highly competent and personable staff that will most impress you. The staff is made up of engaging people with diverse backgrounds and areas of expertise. You'll spend time with ecologists, veteran Montana guides, hospitality professionals, and expert instructors. Every one of them feels strong ties to the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem and their common love is sharing it with others. Guests most often comment on their appreciation for that rarest of qualities: a combination of world-class accommodations, service, and dining in a casual, comfortable and homey atmosphere.
