Ready for a Montana Ranch Vacation, Horseback Riding and More?
Paintbrush Adventures and the famous Barron Ranch offer a picture perfect setting, great hosts, and an authentic hands-on cowboy life. Experience horseback riding in Montana on a 5th generation working horse, sheep and cattle ranch. It is high energy, fast paced, and very informal year round unlike any dude ranch in Montana.
