Activities...

Children: Since our very beginning, families have been coming to 63 to enjoy their vacations together – children included. Although we do not offer a formal “children’s program”, children are included in ranch activities such as horseback riding (children-only rides and/or family rides subject to our minimum age of 6 yrs); fossil hunting; fishing our stocked pond; square dancing; volleyball; playing in the children’s game room; roasting marshmallows; playing with the ranch pets and much more. And let’s not forget about making new friends! A “Family Vacation” at 63 Ranch is one they’ll NEVER forget.

Fishing: Mission Creek, full of fat wild trout, runs for 31/2 miles through the ranch. We encourage catch and release fishing. Our stocked pond for youngsters is great for learning fly casting. Fishing in nearby Blue Ribbon rivers, spring creeks and lakes is world famous. Our fishing brochure has details.

Photography: The 63 is a "shutter bug's" delight with sunny days, big skies, changing light and awesome scenery. Wildlife, wildflowers, waterfalls, cowboys, horses and cattle create endless picture possibilities.

Activities: At The 63 there's volleyball, softball, horseshoes, table soccer, billiards, square dancing, nature walks, cards, games or reading from our library on western life and natural history. There's even a swing set and sandbox for toddlers. Hike trails, climb mountains, explore caves, watch birds (80 species we'll send you a list.) Sunbathe next to our pond, or take a bracing swim after a hot afternoon ride. Kid's marshmallow roasts in our Indian tipi or sleep under the stars.

Livingston, Montana: Nearby Livingston is a picturesque railroad/ranch town of 7500. Take a walking tour of the restored historic district. Visit museums (regional history and art), art galleries, gift shops, western apparel emporiums, fly fishing/ sporting goods stores, western saloons and restaurants. There are racquet ball, tennis, bowling, a public swimming pool and a nine-hole golf course overlooking the Yellowstone River. Rub elbows with cowboys, ranchers and Hollywood stars, famous authors and artists, trainmen, miners and loggers.

More Fun: Other off-ranch activities: whitewater/scenic floats, Lewis & Clark Caverns, historic Virginia City (former territorial capitol) and Nevada City (restored mining town), Custer Battlefield, or spectacular Beartooth Highway. At The 63 it's never "what's to do?," it's "there isn't enough time to do it!" Our guests return again and again, to do it all.

Liability Waiver: "With our guests' safety and enjoyment in mind, we will require all guests who plan to ride horses at any time during their visit to sign and date our horse liability waiver form and then participate in our basic horsemanship and horse safety program Monday morning (each week) before going on any horseback rides."
