LIFE, 2024, MONTANA


This magnificent cottonwood tree defines the Ghost Ranch.  At Ghost Ranch, our attention to personal detail of the land and habitat drove our attitude of stewardship because we were of one mind that land had become a part of the family.  For many people, their Montana ranch changes them. Part of that is you get to Montana and start meeting good people who aren’t trying to impress anyone.  We very seldom had a conversation in Montana with someone where we did the whole, “Well what did you do”? It just isn’t important in Montana.  A big change from the big city in most of America. It becomes about kids, about the choice of lifestyle. You hear people talk about their Montana ranches and how they feel they impact lives and the world from their chunk of land, great sunrises and sunsets, and their closest neighbors being deer and elk.

You get to observe things that not many people in the world get to see. A bald eagle catching a fish in front of you, walking out your front door bumping into a big buck. These are not made up but actual occurrences, weekly if not daily, on the Ghost Ranch.
