SPRING COW CAMP
ALL-INCLUSIVE GLAMPING EXPERIENCES
For over sixty years, Skyline’s horses have spent their winters grazing the wide, breathtaking range of the historic Braten Ranch. It’s here, long before the summer trails open in Yellowstone National Park, that the work of Skyline truly begins. Horses are bred and trained, cattle are tended, and we work hard to preserve our western traditions. Our foothill experiences offer guests a rare behind-the-scenes look into this part of the Skyline story. They’re a chance to slow down, to learn, to connect with the land and the lifestyle at the heart of our ranch. Whether you’re joining us for Cowgirl Cow Camp, the Skyline Spring Roundup, or Cow Camp n' Canvas with Sarah Dean, you’ll find the same sense of authenticity, heart, and Western spirit that defines everything we do at Skyline Guest Ranch.
COWGIRL COW CAMP
Women’s Retreat in the Foothills of Montana
Spring in the foothills of the Beartooth Mountains where the West feels wild, free, and beautifully alive. Cowgirl Cow Camp invites women to step right into the heart of it. Here, the horses run loose across the sagebrush hills, the air smells of fresh earth and sunshine, and each day carries the quiet rhythm of true ranch life. Guests will ride through sweeping valleys, help with spring cattle work, and learn hands-on skills alongside real cowhands. Between the adventure, you’ll settle into cozy glamping accommodations, enjoy incredible meals from our historic chuckwagon, and relax around the fire as the stars stretch across the Montana sky.

ELEVATED CAMPFIRE CUISINE
Meals in the foothills are a true highlight of this retreat, blending the nostalgia of old-fashioned camp cooking with an elevated Skyline twist. Using our over 100-year-old chuckwagon and a massive flattop grill, our camp chefs prepare three unforgettable meals a day, each one crafted to surprise and delight. Mornings begin with French toast sizzling on the griddle, cowboy coffee poured piping hot, and hearty sausage to fuel your day on the range. Evenings bring stunning entrées like elk tomahawk steaks, tender shishkabobs, and skillet-seared favorites served under the open sky. And no night is complete without a warm Dutch oven dessert — think apple dumplings, bubbling cobblers, and other sweet comforts that taste even better when enjoyed beside the campfire. This is camp cooking reimagined, where timeless tradition meets elevated flavor in the heart of the foothills.
