Good morning from Montana! How do you like to spend your mornings? Well, here on Elk Ridge, I don’t always choose to spend my mornings on the tailgate in subzero temperatures walking the boys but when I do, I make sure to parade them down Main Street. We love having the elk come in and enjoy watching them but when the temperatures start dipping down below zero they get relentless and cause havoc on the property. At -30° they get chilled and with 3 feet of snow it’s hard to find a meal, so they are always sneaking in the pasture, and our boys always allow the elk to eat with them instead of chasing them off. However, when they get spooked, they are not always so graceful and break through the fences. So of course the boys follow. It may be tough this time of year on people and animals, but this is the life we choose to live, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. #montana #troublemaker #mendingfences #ranchlife #onedayatatime #january
With all this fire chaos going on around us, I am forever grateful to be sitting out here this morning completing my morning chores, deadheading all the flowers, listening to the birds, chirp, and the squirrels tussle in the trees. #Montana #fireseason #RidgeFire #weddingvenue #flowers #flowerbeds #prayformontana
Who’s ready for the 2023 glamping season to kickoff? #glamping #glampinglife #glampingnotcamping #Montana #airbnbhost #airbnb #bookwithus #montanaweddingvenue #montanaweddingvenues #stayinnature
I named the property Elk Ridge for good reason! I love watching them come in and enjoy them out in the field but not when they crap all over the nice lawn lol.
With all the snow it was just too wet to get any landscaping done around the property yesterday. So I loaded the dogs up and we set out for Montana’s high country. This trail head is only 27.2 miles from the cabins and it over looks GNP but is located outside of the park. For any of our guest who are looking to explore this area outside of the park we have so many hiking trails that I can give you great insight on.
Currently we’re still buried in snow out here but spring it on it’s way and everything is starting to melt off. Who else is ready for some warm weather and glamping?
Happy winter solstice from all of us here at Elk Ridge! With these subzero temps the ladies are pressuring our boys for a snack. Stay warm out there and be kind to one another.
Good morning! I could listen to the cow elk talk to one another all day long. 🌄 ❄️ 🤍
Finally got some hired help around here today! Although he was practicing his go kart skills while cutting the lawn I would say he hit about 90% of it lol!
