The One Montana Ranch Where You Can Experience A Women-Only Wild West Getaway

Montanans know how precious the lands that make up our beautiful Wild West truly are. Our state offers some of the most majestic and seemingly untouched terrain, both in the western mountains and across the rolling hills of its eastern prairies; Montana truly lives up to the Big Sky Country label. If you are looking for a truly unique experience as a woman — one that you can share with your closest female compadres — you'll be delighted by this luxurious ranch resort offering the best Wild West experience in Montana.

An undeniable allure draws people to the sprawling wilderness that can be found only in Montana. One ranch offers a true immersion into this wild world: Mountain Sky Guest Ranch in the small community of Emigrant.

Gather around the campfire with your best girlfriends as you embark on the getaway of a lifetime offered at this luxurious ranch. Horse lovers, this is the adventure for you.

Since its opening in 1929, Mountain Sky Guest Ranch has maintained its status as one of the top-rated luxurious ranch resorts in the country.

This beautiful ranch is situated on 17,000 acres of unspoiled landscape within Gallatin National Forest. It boasts breathtaking mountain views in all directions.

The ranch offers a selection of Wild West packages, but the Wild West Women Adventure provides adult women ages 21 and up with an opportunity to explore the land in the way of the cowgirl. Saddle up, pick your horse, and get to riding!

But first, let's talk lodging. There are a variety of rustic cabin options of all sizes, starting as small as the one-bedroom Pony Cabin shown here, and upwards to 3-bedroom cabins, or you can alternatively stay at the main lodge.

Regardless of which lodging option you and your girlfriends select, you'll be treated to luxurious comfort, plentiful amenities, fine dining, and unlimited outdoor recreation.

Shown here is the beautiful master bedroom of the Tower duplex cabin. Clearly, comfort is the name of the game at Mountain Sky Guest Ranch.

Incorporate a rejuvenating morning yoga routine to center yourself and soak in the healing energy of this beautiful natural setting.

During your girls-only getaway, you'll be treated to daily trail rides, various unique horsemanship activities, and educational interactive demonstrations.

Retreat to the upscale dining room for a three to four-course gourmet meal after your day of trail riding, hiking, and adventuring.

The herb and dijon-crusted rack of lamb is a favorite among guests with its mustard spaetzle, broccolini, and minted yogurt. It's enough to get your mouth watering just looking at it!

You'll have ample opportunity to hike and explore the endless natural beauty that is found in Gallatin National Forest. Yellowstone National Park is only a short drive away and is sure to be one of the most memorable aspects of your adventure package. Speaking from experience, Yellowstone is by far my favorite national park in the country. Seeing the wildlife and watching the geysers erupt is an otherworldly experience you cannot miss.

There are three sets of dates listed for the Wild West Women Adventure in 2025, so be sure to inquire and reserve your spot quickly before they sell out. The experience starts at a rate of $3,250 per person, which includes five nights of lodging, meals, a tour of Yellowstone National Park, on-ranch activities (horseback riding, golf, guided hiking, yoga, archery, and fly fishing instruction), as well as airport transportation. Rates also include the use of all ranch facilities and amenities, such as the heated pool, hot tub, grotto, steam room, sauna, and tennis court.
