Summary
Saddle up! What Paintbrush Adventures (Barron Ranch) offers is a picture perfect setting, great hosts, authentic hands on cowboy life, horseback riding, and fishing on a 5th generation Montana working horse, sheep and cattle ranch. It is high energy, fast paced, and very informal year round. Don't look for set schedules and planned activities. Our main location is near Absarokee, MT about 14 miles south of Columbus, MT on RT 78.
Wanda Wilcox, rancher and back country guide, exemplifies the pioneer spirit of the American West. She was recognized by the National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame as a woman who displays courage and the strength of her convictions. They made a documentary called “Kinship with the Land” and it features her relationship with the land from ranching and working with animals to her community spirit and zeal for preserving her heritage.
We are a hard working family who enjoys sharing our love of the ranching way of life and the sheer beauty of the Beartooth Wilderness. We offer customized three to five day packages. Your choice of stay on the ranch and participate in ranch/cattle work and go on scenic rides, or rough it in comfort and style on one of our mountain pack trips or a choose a combination of activities and excursions.
