Is fly fishing your kind of sport? The smile on Steve's face says it all! The Boulder River is good for wading now, due to its lower level. Something you think you would like to try? Yes or No? www.hawleymountain.com

Another law enforcement badge goes up on our lodge wall at Hawley Mountain Ranch. Tim Baysinger is a retired captain of the Missouri State Highway Patrol, serving for 36 years from 1978-2014. Presently, he is a regional program manager for the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc. (2014-current). Tim also sent a very informative article stating that the Missouri State Patrol was created in 1931, and the officers began wearing this shoulder patch on their uniform that year. The article gave a detailed description of the badge, but the design of two grizzle bears on the badge caught the interest of us Montanans. Thanks for the many years of your service, Tim, and to your lovely wife for all of her years of support.

Another law enforement patch has been shared with us! Tim Stevens and his wife, Judy, have visited Hawley Mountain Ranch several times. Tim's law enforcement experience was spent as a wildlife officer. He was a game warden for almost 29 years. We are sure that is how he and wife, Judy, have become so interested in the outdoors and hunting. Tim spends some of his retired time making wooden products for our gift shop. They have been a real hit with our visitors! Thanks for your service, Tim, and for your support as well, Judy.

What a view we have from the Eagle Nest Lodge on the cliff. Riders pass by on the way to the meadow for a relaxing ride. At times we see elk with their calves, a moose stroll by the pond, or a cub playing with its mother in a meadow by the Boulder River. A magical moment! www.hawleymountain.com

Another badge was sent to us by a friend who worked in law enforcement in New Hampshire. Jim was part of the Dublin Department for 25 years. He started as a patrolman and retired as the police chief. After retirement from the force, he was an operations manager at our dude ranch for a time, and we personally know what a great guy he is. The police force was lucky to have him! Thanks for your service, Jim! www.hawleymountain.com

A recent guest from CA shared with us a very special moment. Charlie has been in law enforcement for many years in his state and honored us with a badge from his police department. He stated that places like our dude ranch offer the kind of surroundings that people working in high stress situations seek for healing and renewal. These badges have been shared by many law enforcement workers to recognize the dedication and caring for others that occurs in their experiences each day. It is our hope to continue building a wall of badges in our lodge from past and future policemen and women in recognition of these special individuals. www.hawleymountain.com

The Pasque flower is one of the first to emerge in the spring in the mountains. Such a majestic and tough flower! Others such as the glacier lilies, prairie smoke, and forget-me-nots soon follow. Such a beautiful time to be in the mountains!

May 20 on Hawley Mountain. Just when you think spring is here, mother nature takes a different path. One of these days it will arrive!

Part of the herd is coming up to the ranch from winter pasture. They know where they are going, and they look ready to get to work. Rocko is not lame, but he does this dance every time he is on the road. They got home just before big snowflakes hit! www.hawleymountain.com #horses #duderanchtraildrive #springtime #horsebackride #montanamoment

The view from the top of Monument Peak is breathtaking! At alemost 11,000 feet, one gets the feeling of "being on top of the world"! What od you think? www.hawleymountain.com #mountainhike #duderanchactivity #wilderness ##montanamoment

Horse heading to the corral for treats!

It's time to switch pastures, and our horses know that means some horse cake (a treat) is a perk at the corral. Watch them hustle!🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎 The last ones to arrive get the short end of the treats.😖 www.hawleymountain.com #horserunning #changeofscenery #duderanchherd #ontonewplaces #montanamoment

A relaxing evening activity at Hawley Mountain Ranch is when a guest shares his/her musical talents at the campfire. The warmth and crackle of the fire helps create the mood, don't you think? www/hawleymountain.com #campfire #duderanchvacation #fellowship #wildernessactivity

Every rider starts has to start sometime. We think this young lady🙋‍♀️ is a fast learner. How did you start your love for horseback riding🐎? www.hawleymountain.com #beginnerriding #inclusivedueranchexperience #wildernessadventure #montanamoment

Checking horses in the winter pasture to make sure all is well. They always love a special trat at the same time.😀The Pinzgauer is used for guests in the summertime, and that's a unique treat for them too. www.hawleymountain.com #horses #winterpasture #ranchactivity #montana

After a 3mile run from a pasture, the horses are entering a corral to be mormed and then moved on to the winter pasture until spring. They must be slightly out of shape, as their run down the road seems slower. www.hawleymountain.com #duderanchactivity #wintertime #horseherd #montanamoment

Every once in a while you get to enjoy scenes like this. This moose didin't seem to care that I was interupting her meal.

Moving horses down the road about 7 miles to a lower pasture. They seemed to know the way this time. www.hawleymountain.com #trrailinghorses #duderanchherd #Montanamoment

Starting some of the horse herd down the road for some lower fall pasture isn't always a cakewalk. They sometimes get a bit confused with the gate closed to their daily pasture.🤔 Once they figured it out, onward they go to fresh grass. www.hawleymountain.com #movingforward #duderanchhorses #signoffall #confusion
