HE HOLIDAYS ARE ALWAYS MAGI-
CAL WHEN SURROUNDED BY LOVED
ONES, BUT AT THE RANCH AT ROCK
CREEK—A FORBES TRAVEL GUIDE FIVE-
STAR GUEST RANCH—THEY'RE EXCEP-
TIONAL. Located outside of Philipsburg
and nestled on 6,600 acres of untamed
wilderness, it's a place where family and
friends gather to create memories that last
a lifetime.
Frosted pines line the snow-dusted ridges,
golden winter light glimmers across the
valley, and the air carries the scent of wood-
smoke and pine. Inside the Granite Lodge,
the charm of the West meets the sparkle of
the season. The atmosphere is one of cel-
ebration paired with the irresistible aroma
of a holiday feast just emerging from the
kitchen.
Boredom doesn't exist at The Ranch at Rock
Creek. There are over 35 winter activities
including skiing (downhill and cross coun-
try), ice skating, snowshoeing, archery,
shooting, UTV tours, horseback riding and
more offered twice daily with private expert
guides. And that's not even to mention the
fitness center, pool, and hot tub. For cozy
indoor activities, the Silver Dollar Saloon
has billiards, poker, shuffleboard, karaoke,
a movie theater, a wide selection of board
games, and even four lanes of bowling.
Every meal is an event in itself. The Ranch
at Rock Creek kitchen tells a story about
Montana stock, wildlife, herb and harvest.
With regionally and locally sourced organic
ingredients, menus and dining experiences
mirror Montana seasonal bounty. Prepara-
tion is equal parts mountain tradition and
