This Quaint Wagon Ride Through Montana’s Forest Is A Magnificent Way To Take It All In

The beauty of Montana is so vast, sweeping, and dramatic, it can be difficult to take it all in. A ranch in Whitefish has an experience that will guide you to some remarkable scenes. The Bar W Guest Ranch offers wagon rides that take visitors through this majestic country, traveling through towering pines and past grand mountain vistas. Here’s a seat waiting for you – here’s why you should climb aboard.

Bar W. Guest Ranch is just 3.5 miles from the shopping, dining, and entertainment of Whitefish -- but it feels an entire world away. The ranch is wild and beautiful – the kind of place that attracts anyone who loves the outdoors.

The ranch has indoor and outdoor riding stables and it offers a variety of ranch experiences for those who want to enjoy the cowboy life for a little while. You can even learn rodeo skills!

But you don’t have to get in the saddle to explore the ranch. Wagon rides are available that allow you to leave the driving to someone else.

In the world of cowboys, the wagon driver is called a “teamster.” This skilled driver knows the terrain and the country and will ensure you have a great time. The rides last about 45 minutes, but that’s just the start of the fun.

At the end of the trail you’ll get dropped off at a gazebo on Spencer Lake for a secluded evening. Or opt to visit the nearby play meadow that’s just the spot for family fun and games.

A hearty post-ride meal completes the experience – it includes a variety of delicious offerings and coffee and dessert. White the ranch doesn’t serve alcohol, you’re welcome to bring some along -- sip a beverage and plot your next wagon adventure!

The wagon rides must be reserved in advance. Rides are based on availability and require a minimum of 10 riders. Learn more about the rides and the Bar W. Guest Ranch here. Montana has a lot of great ranch experiences – here are some more ranches that will help you find your inner cowboy.
