Introduction
By Judy Koutsky
For friends looking for a full-scale ranch experience while still indulging in a bit of luxury, The Resort at Paws Up delivers—in a big way. There are no shortages of activities to undertake on the 37,000 acres of Montana wilderness along the Blackfoot River (of A River Runs Through It fame). Additionally, Paws Up is Montana’s first member of the Small Luxury Hotels of the World.
Activities and Excursions:
This type of resort is perfect for friends who might have different interests because there are literally dozens of activities to experience. Paws Up boasts more than 120 miles of designated hiking, mountain biking and ATV trails, nestled in the foothills of the Garnet Mountains. With an average of 430 acres per guest, travelers will feel like they have the wilderness to themselves, even when the resort is at full occupancy. The activity list is practically endless. There’s fly fishing, horseback riding (boasting one of Montana’s largest equestrian centers), tubing, kayaking, whitewater rafting, bird and wildlife watching, sporting clays, snowshoeing, ice skating, sleigh rides, ice fishing, dog sledding and down hill skiing. The guides are excellently trained for novices as well as seasoned sporting enthusiasts.
