The Vermillion Ranch is located 11 miles east of Big Timber, Montana and about 70 miles from major airports in both Bozeman and Billings. From the ranch, it’s just a short drive to the Absaroka Mountains and the Crazy Mountains, as well as the Boulder River, the Stillwater River, the Spring Creeks of Paradise Valley, and a host of small mountain streams teeming with wild trout.

For those who prefer to explore civilization over the great outdoors, the Vermillion Ranch is an ideal location from which to experience some of Montana’s most charming communities. The cow town of Big Timber is home to some of Montana’s oldest cattle families and offers a unique combination of restaurants and western stores. Livingston is one of Montana’s most prolific art communities and is home to a number of art galleries, clothing stores, and restaurants. And the larger cities of Bozeman and Billings offer fantastic live arts, museums, shopping, and dining.

Yellowstone Park is an easy drive from the Vermillion Ranch. The Park is filled with North America’s last great populations of elk, buffalo and grizzly bears. From the Ranch, a popular Yellowstone excursion is to drive down Paradise Valley, through Yellowstone Park, over the Beartooth Highway, and through the quaint mountain town of Red Lodge before meandering back up the Yellowstone Valley to the Ranch
for dinner.
