Yellowstone is More Than Your Typical Day at the Park with Lone Mountain Ranch

BIG SKY, Montana–A summer vacation destination that will please everyone in the family is an elusive goal for many families, but the Discovery Package at Lone Mountain Ranch it makes it easy. Not only will families have the opportunity to visit Yellowstone National Park, but they can chose from active offerings designed to provide something for everyone.

Just 18 miles from the northwest corner of Yellowstone, Lone Mountain Ranch blends the best elements of a ranch vacation with an opportunity to discover America's first national park. While on the ranch, guests can choose from horseback riding, hiking, mountain biking and even canoeing.
Younger members of the family do not have to worry about being dragged along on adult excursions – the ranch offers a Youth Adventure Program for young people aged 4 to 18, which offers age-appropriate activities like pony rides, ice cream socials, archery, and both high and low ropes courses. The program runs daily from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. so the family can regroup and share the day's experiences at dinner. The popular teens program includes a "teens only" camping trip in Yellowstone – so even the hard to please will find something unique during their stay.

When it comes to exploring Yellowstone, the guides at Lone Mountain Ranch know the lay of the land. Backcountry hikes and rides are scheduled several times during the week and a naturalist-guided interpreted tour takes guests into the interior of the park to discover the hot spots and geysers. The naturalists have lived and worked in the area for years and are very familiar with the park's wildlife, flora, geology and history.

The package includes seven nights lodging, airport transfers, three meals daily, evening programs, kids’ activities, horseback rides and a choice of naturalist-guided activities. Prices vary for this all-inclusive package, but families who book the Discovery Package for the week of June 10-17 will receive a 10% discount off the regular rates. Guided fly fishing trips, massage, and photo clinics are also available for an additional fee.
