63 Ranch

The 63 Ranch history dates from 1863 (hence the name), and in 1982 it was the first dude ranch in Montana declared a National Historic Site. Our Livingston, Montana dude ranch sits at 5600 feet altitude below Elephant Head Mountain, 50 miles north of Yellowstone National Park, 12 miles outside of Livingston. Making its home in some of the prettiest country in the west, the Ranch adjoins the two-million acre Gallatin National Forest, straddles Mission Creek Canyon, meets the craggy peaks of the Absaroka Mountains and the rolling across grassy hills, rimrock ridges and sagebrush benches above the Yellowstone River. The backdrop is breathtaking. Mission Creek, full of fat wild trout, runs for 3 1/2 miles through the ranch. We encourage catch and release fishing. Fishing in nearby Blue Ribbon rivers, spring creeks and lakes is world famous.
