Hoofin' it on the Ranch

Hoof yourself over to Grant-Kohrs National Historic Ranch for an early morning run or walk before the annual Cookin’ on the Clark Fork BBQ Cook-off. There are 3k, 5k, and 10k options and the proceeds will go toward a new Track and Football Field for the Deer Lodge School District. Support a good cause and then piggy on over to enjoy an afternoon of BBQ and a beer garden afterward.

The trail follows Cottonwood Creek to the Clark Fork River. See some excellent grassland habitat and follow the old Milwaukee Railroad right-of-way that will take you to a swampy area which is great for spotting aquatic birds. Or maybe you would rather head out to the far pastures to see the main herd of cattle and experience some incredible views along the way. Whichever race you decide, it’s a great opportunity to get out and stretch your legs and visit parts of the ranch that most visitors never experience.
