SPRING NEWSLETTER (2025)

After running full speed through a snowy winter, we’re finally stepping into a promising spring. As the snow melts and green begins to return to the hills, we’re once again filled with gratitude and excitement here at Skyline Guest Ranch. With the green grass, baby foals on the ground, and new adventures on the horizon, we can't help but feel the excitement! The mountains are calling and another unforgettable Skyline summer is just around the corner.

Our 2025 staff is shaping up to be one of our best yet. We’re grateful that the majority of our amazing crew is returning, and we’re excited to welcome three new team members: Kayla, Maci, and Natalie—who we’re confident will be wonderful additions.

Here’s a little glimpse at what our family has been up to: 

Kaleb and Bella just graduated from college and are soaking up their last weeks living in Hawaii before returning to the mainland. They have a European backpacking trip planned as soon as the season ends—clearly, the spirit of adventure runs strong!

Lukus is settling into college life and learning to love the desert… but as the temperatures rise, he’s itching to get back to the cool mountain air and familiar trails of home. Colter is wrapping up his senior year (though he’s been “mentally graduated” for a while now). When he’s not attending his last two high school classes and building saddles, he’s training horses and preparing for a three-week horsemanship clinic later this month. Colter also has two horses consigned to the 'Best of the Rockies: Cody Horse Sale' happening over Mother's Day weekend in historic downtown Cody, Wyoming.

Alex and Kameesha are busy with Skyline and the new Safari venture, all while chasing after two-year-old Callahan, who brings energy, laughter, and dirt-covered joy to every corner of our lives. They’re also excited to welcome a new baby this July—right in the middle of our busiest week of the season! Wish us luck! 

Victor is happily breaking in his new tractor and getting hay and grain planted, while Liz has been working on spring projects and loving her time with the grandkids. Luke and Lara are as busy as ever—always working hard, serving others, and making time for the most important things: family and faith. They truly are the best grandparents!  Our spring wouldn’t be complete without new life—two foals are already here, and several more are expected in the coming weeks. It’s always a thrill to see a healthy colt take its first wobbly steps under the big Montana sky. Meanwhile, the horses are still enjoying their “winter break” on pasture—but it won’t be long before they head up the mountain for another season of trail rides and backcountry adventures. 

We are also excited to officially launch Skyline Safari Co., an all-new adventure company in partnership with Skyline Guest Ranch! Created by Alex and Kameesha as a natural extension of the Skyline legacy, Skyline Safari is expanding the ways you can explore Yellowstone and the Beartooth Mountains. Private wildlife safaris, scenic tours, guided hikes, and immersive photography expeditions are now available, giving you unparalleled access to the wild beauty of this region.

We’re thrilled to have professional photographer Julia Cook leading our private photography tours. From wolves in Lamar Valley to dramatic Yellowstone landscapes, Julia will help you capture breathtaking moments in the wild. The stunning images you see below are her amazing work. Follow Skyline Safari on Instagram for a behind-the-scenes look at all the incredible wildlife we encounter this summer!

As we look ahead to summer, we’re filled with anticipation. Whether you’ve been coming to Skyline for years or are planning your first trip, we’re honored to share this place with you. There’s nothing quite like summertime in the mountains—and we can’t wait to welcome you here!
