1 Hubbard s Yellowstone Six Quarter Circle Ranch A working Cattle & Guest Ranch In the Tradition of the New West

2 H u b b a r d s Y e l l o w s t o n e S i x Q u a r t e r C i r c l e R a n c h We invite you to join us at Yellowstone Six Quarter Circle Ranch for an experience you will never forget. Our guests at Six Quarter Circle are a critical part of our operation. We are one of the few large cattle ranches in the West that gives our guests a true and authentic ranch experience. This may involve pushing 1,000 head of livestock through open country into alpine forests at 8,000 feet. And at the end of the day, we offer friendly Montana hospitality, excellent accommodations and gourmet dining. Paradise is one of the places in the West where you go to find light. Timothy Egan in Lasso the Wind, Away to the New West For those of you who prefer to cruise the mountain lakes and streams in search of cutthroat trout, our Orvisendorsed lodge sits on a private 85-acre lake and is a stone s throw from the Yellowstone River, Yellowstone National Park and world-renowned spring-fed creeks. Or you may just want to relax in the sun with a good book on our deck overlooking beautiful Paradise Valley and its ribbon of blue winding north to meet up with the Missouri. Guided tours of spectacular Yellowstone Park are also available. You won t find children at the Six Quarter Circle Ranch. It s a place where adults can get away and experience the serenity of the mountains. We find that couples appreciate our ranch because each can pursue his or her own interests during the day then swap stories over a delicious dinner and a bottle of fine wine from our extensive wine list in the evening. We also serve corporate groups and will tailor activities to meet whatever needs your group has. Our family has owned and operated this ranch for 25 years and we truly enjoy sharing this unique and awesome environment with our guests who always leave as our friends. Please join us in our corner of paradise for an experience that blends the traditions of the Old West with the comfort of the New.

3 Six Quarter Circle Ranch A HORSES t Six Quarter Circle you can ride all day, everyday, on 25 square miles of pristine wilderness on the edge of Yellowstone National Park. Guests actively participate in ranch work, whether it s pushing cattle to higher, greener pastures, throwing salt or fixing fence. Experience is not necessary our cowboys will provide horsemanship instruction and we have strong mountain horses for every level of ability. And you are welcome to bring your own horse; board and feed are included. If you prefer a gentler ride, our wranglers will guide you on a two-hour ride to Ramshorn Lake at the foot of 10,000 foot Ramshorn Peak. The basaltic cliffs that tower over the lake are home to one of the largest herds of bighorn sheep in the state. If you are an angler, you can spend a few hours fishing for cutthroat trout before you head back to the lodge for some well deserved R & R. You can see what man made from the seat of an automobile, but the best way to see what God made is from the back of a horse. Charles M. Russell Ramshorn Lake

Summers are spent moving the herd between pastures to ensure there s good grazing and to let the land rest. It s a big job and ranch guests are a critical part of our operation. In addition to pushing cattle, there are fences to mend and other backcountry ranch tasks that guests participate in each day. I have always wanted to experience working on a real cattle ranch. Six Quarter Circle helped me fulfill that dream, beyond expectations. John Frazer, Atlanta, Georgia
