Summary
The Skelton Ranch marks a crossroads of history where time slows down and a sense of place sweeps you away. You feel the power of “Big Sky Country” here on what we call the front porch to the Rockies. Named for the cowboy artist who captured it all on canvas, Charlie Russell Country will capture you as well with its picturesque ranch landscapes and gracious people.
The Skelton Ranch has been designated as a nature conservancy and you’ll soon gain an appreciation for the way this ranch family maintains the landscape. They are good stewards of the land, ranchers preserving Montana frontier history, working to keep Montana, Montana. The 15,000-acre, 500-cow Skelton Ranch is located in a pristine area along the Rocky Mountain Front, only one hour south of Glacier Park, this ranch is known for its warm friendly atmosphere with a tradition of adventure and personal service.
Just a word of caution: after you’ve spent a few days with Steve and Alison Skelton, 4th generation Montana ranchers, and their children, Cassy (20) and Matt (17), you’ll begin to wonder whether you ever want to leave!
