Native Nomenclature – Tent City

As a tribute to The Treasure State, each of our accommodations are named for something native to Montana.  As part of our “Native Nomenclature” series, learn more about the origin of the individual tent names at Tent City…inspired by infamous Montana outlaws:

Rattlesnake Jake: Wanted for minor horse rustling, suspected of murder and wanted in half a dozen towns and at least four territories.

The Wild Bunch: The Hole-in-the-Wall Gang Robbed Trains and Shot People.

Dutch Henry: Terrorized settlers with their horse thievery, kidnapping and robberies.

Big Nose George: A rustler and robber who in his life ran with many outlaws.

The Pigeon-Toed Kid: Ran with a bunch of horse thieves who were rustling along the border and selling them in North Dakota.

Long-Haired Owens: Was Rattlesnake Jake’s partner in crime.

Want To Go For A Drive?

This year, we began offering cattle drive adventures to our guests.  The response has been overwhelming (both from the cattle and the guests).  It’s an activity you have to experience to understand…but we thought these photographs might help:

Cowpokes’ Corral Cast of Characters: Butters

We have some new friends at our Kids Cowpokes’ Corral. We’ll introduce them to you one at a time.

Hi, I’m Butters! I was born on a farm in Choteau, Montana. My friends Mike, Mackenzie, and Tara picked me up on a cold day in June. I was only four weeks old and a little scared that first day and rightfully so. When I arrived at the ranch I learned I was sharing my new corral with some crazy animals!

I enjoy a bottle every morning and love to lay in the sunshine all day. It’s a tough life, but “hay”, somebody’s gotta do it! I also really love following kids around and oh my, when they let me suck on their fingers it’s the greatest! I have a sweet spot behind both of my ears on my neck, and I will be your best friend if you scratch it. I have tons of fun chasing the other animals around our corral, but don’t worry, we’re just playing!
