The Ranch also offers breathtaking views of the Tobacco Roots, Lower Rubies, Madison Range, Blacktails, and Highland and McCartney ranges. A Conservation Easement is possible, and recommended. Aspens, willows other woody species, and cottonwoods line the banks of Owlsley and Schoolhouse Slough and several braids of the beautiful Big Hole River coursing through the ranch. Owlsley and Schoolhouse Sloughs are terrific little creeks with holes, lies, pools and riffles full of big brown trout. A number of miles of the Big Hole River braid and winds serpentine through the ranch creating islands, secret channels, incredible beauty and some of the best freestone fishing in the west.
Incredible vistas flow in every direction.
Towering ranges surround the Valley. The Tobacco Roots to the east and north and west, the McCartney s and Pioneers to the west, the Lower Ruby s, Upper Ruby s, and Graveley s, and yes, even a distant peak at the top of the Madisons to the north. Mule deer, whitetail deer, and the occasional moose frequent the property. Raptors sweep up and down the braided reaches of the Big Hole, including bald and golden eagles. Tens of thousands of acres of federal ground including BLM and forest service are just a few miles away.
