Our adventures with Flying Pig left us feeling so lucky to have had the knowledge and resources from our guides and the opportunity to share such a unique and unforgettable experience with our kids. The ability to get out from behind the windshield and into nature transformed our trip and gave us inspiration for what we can do as a family.
Spring is one of the most exciting times of year in West Yellowstone and Yellowstone National Park. As the days grow longer, the landscape changes almost daily – snow lingers in the mountains, wildflowers begin to grow, and baby animals appear in the meadows.
Residents of West Yellowstone, Montana know how to make the most of every second of winter sunlight. If you’ve got cabin fever and the itch to explore, head to West Yellowstone for an escape that you won’t soon forget.
Pull on your boots and tighten your stampede string! It’s time to book the ultimate dude ranch vacation. Wide open spaces, simplified travel plans, and immune-boosting perks make it an easy choice.
If you can pull yourself away from all the excitement in town, the foodie in you will be delighted to go beyond the expected Montana steakhouse and find a tantalizing array of local eateries with creative, made-from-scratch menus.
The autumn colors in Missoula, Montana are a sight that you really don’t want to miss. Pair stunning fall views with all the excitement and adventure that Missoula has to offer and you have yourself an incredible 3 days ahead of you.
Big Sky’s largest city—Billings, Montana—beams with hues of gold, amber, and tangerine in the autumn. In addition to the stunning fall foliage, Billings pops with splashes of culture, art, events, and live music. Here in “The Treasure State,” great Wild West treasures await!
Undoubtedly, the best way to explore the scenery around Yellowstone is from the back of a horse. Flying Pig Adventure Company offers horseback rides for all skill levels, from novice riders to expert horsemen. Meandering through Yellowstone National Park on horseback is a special experience and really encourages riders to slow down and take in the surrounding beauty.
We awoke to the smell of the crisp mountain air and moseyed out of our “glamping” tent to greet the day. We ventured out for a horseback ride with some of the folks we met the night before at the cookout. Our guides so graciously extended our ride since we missed out the night before. We were continuously impressed at how accommodating our hosts were!
It’s one thing to see bison on the shoulder of the road; it’s something entirely different to stand on the shoulder of the road, hearing and seeing a pack of wolves communicate over your head. This is the difference between a self-directed tour and a guided Yellowstone wildlife tour.
