Where the mountains meet the prairie in northwest Montana lie vast expanses of wilderness that are habitats for moose, mountain lions, lynx and birds ranging from warblers to raptors. The Nature Conservancy’s Pine Butte Preserve serves as home base for a remarkable journey in Big Sky Country. In this showcase of one of North America’s most intact and wild ecosystems, you’ll find dramatic limestone peaks that tower above native grasslands and views that seemingly go on forever. The opportunities to explore its diverse habitats seem just as endless. Through hikes, horseback rides and guided tours, you’ll have a unique chance to experience this rugged and beautiful region.
HIGHLIGHTS
