Father's Day is June 16 and the whole family can come along for a Wolf Photo Safari and in addition, there's white water rafting and fly fishing at Madison Valley Inn in Montana

Inns around the country offer the nature rich experience of activities that appeal to our hunter-gatherer side but with the end of day comfort that allows for cushy beds, deluxe bathing and hearty cuisine.  Suggested searches include Gold Country, California, Cape Cod, Texas, Juneau, Alaska, Sedona, Arizona and any alligator invested town or wood covered mountain you can think of. For most of the US population, there is a gentlemanly adventure within a three hour drive so skimp on restaurants and make it a goal to get out to taste and see our adventure-filled country. 


The pristine Montana valleys and mountains serve as the backdrop for this inn with its unique blend of English, Japanese, French, and Chinese antiques. Exposed wood beams give the reminder that this is a true mountain inn. Three guest rooms offer seasonal fresh flowers from the garden, thick towels in the private bathrooms, and views of the surrounding hills. From October until June, wolf safaris are offered so guests can see these majestic creatures in Yellowstone National Park. Coyotes, elk, mountain goats, bison, and mountain lions also roam the remote valley. Enjoy a candlelight dinner after a day of trekking through the woods or simply soak in the spa under the never-ending starry sky. Civilization is nine minutes away in the seven-block town of Ennis with shops and western bars. The innkeepers are happy to assist in planning your activity filled vacation with fly fishing on the Madison River, white water rafting, and a trip to the Lewis and Clark Caverns.
