Western Romance in a Green Style - A New Chapter in our Great Western Story
Whether you are looking for a honeymoon destination, a place to renew your vows or a place to celebrate your 5th or your 30th wedding anniversary, The Lodge at Sun Ranch may be the perfect spot for you.

If your heart sings when you

View wide open spaces of green or golden lands interrupted by hills with dark green pines, or
Smell warm earth and sage, or
Hear clear fast running rivers and streams, or
Step to the edge of lakes that mirror mountains and white clouds in blue skies,

then you and your partner will be singing in harmony at The Lodge at Sun Ranch, Montana. Located in the upper Madison River Valley near Cameron, the ranch is accessible from Bozeman or West Yellowstone by air or you can take Amtrak’s Empire Builder to Shelby and rent a car. The ranch provides transfers from Bozeman and West Yellowstone airports.

DATES: Ranch is open from June through September
COST: $3600 to $3950 per person double occupancy for a 7 night multi venture stay
INCLUDED: Gourmet breakfast, lunch, dinner, any combination of guided hiking, guided canoeing, guided walk/wade fly-fishing with instruction, guided horseback riding with instruction and a guided auto tour of Yellowstone National Park and/or Virginia City, Montana. Airport transfers (Bozeman & West Yellowstone)
NOT INCLUDED: Alcoholic beverages, guiding other than that mentioned above, equipment rental or purchase, and a 7% accommodation tax and 18% gratuity will be added to the package.

The Lodge serves up a traditional western experience with great sensitivity and appreciation for the land. The Sun Ranch Group "eco-enterprise is built on four pillars:

• eco-tourism (The Lodge),
• holistic cattle ranching (Sun Ranch Agriculture),
• limited conservation development (The Sun Ranch Settlement), and
• a non-profit research institute (Sun Ranch Institute).

These four companies work together under the Sun Ranch Group umbrella to improve the environment, enhance our local community, and preserve Southwestern Montana’s way of life and wildlife." (From the Sun Ranch web site, 9/08).

The Lodge's accommodations provide a sense of privacy as well as warmth and hospitality. Choose from suites or rooms in the lodge, each one unique, offering views with patios or balconies and comfortable furnishings. Or for the romantic getaway feel, choose from the two renovated homestead cabins; their rustic hand hewn log exteriors hide the luxurious settings inside.

Food is both part of the creature comforts and the adventure at The Lodge. The Ranch chef has created a farm-to-table culinary program, presenting local offerings from meat to fish to vegetables and flavorings. Grass fed beef, local pork and lamb and vegetables from local organic farmers form the base for the chef's palate. This is an all inclusive experience that you will not forget!

Sun Ranch offers a range of activities so that every day you can experience something new or different or you can indulge your passions. The multi venture package includes guided hiking and canoeing, walk and wade fly fishing and horseback riding. With the Ranch's own wildlife biologist, you can enjoy a day-long tour of Yellowstone National Park. In addition to pointing out larger game, you will enjoy seeing many of the 137 species of birds found in the Madison Valley.

And finally, one more reason why The Lodge at Sun Ranch should be on your list for an anniversary or a honeymoon is their very tangible and visible respect for the environment and ecosystems that make Montana and Yellowstone magnets for nature lovers. See the Sun Ranch eco facts for a complete listing of the commitments that this group has made. But to give you a taste:

• Green building techniques. The Lodge's eco-renovation made use of pre-existing structures, recycled building materials, and local contractors. The end result is a Lodge whose "footprint" is considerably less than that of a new lodge building.
• Guest education. The "Guest Speaker Series" is a weekly event when local scientists, naturalists, artists and outfitters are invited to discuss their work in the Madison Valley, their concerns about issues facing Montana, and their hopes for the future.
• Barbed wire fence replacement. The ranch has worked in conjunction with Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation to take down over 40 miles of wildlife-unfriendly barbed wire fencing. In its place, the ranch put up a minimal amount of fencing by creating larger, less divided grazing pastures. Making use of un-barbed, hi-tensile, removable fence the 5,000 elk that winter on Sun Ranch are now able to migrate freely according to natural rhythms.

Note: There are many ranches to choose from around the country with varying commitments to conservation. Each offers a different experience, from traditional western riding and fishing, to hiking and mountain biking, or spa going. A variety of atmospheres can be found from formal to informal family style dining, from flexible unplanned days to organized daily itineraries.

Let Green Concierge Travel make a booking for you at the Lodge at Sun Ranch or match you up with a ranch experience that suits your needs – a honeymoon or an anniversary, a family gathering or family vacation.
