| Guest's first come to Forrester's with a dream, be it a twenty-inch brown trout or partridge flushed over a German Pointer. They come to walk in the footsteps of the Sioux and to see the hills once pounded by Seventh Cavalry hooves at Little Bighorn. But that alone is not why so many return to Forrester's. You see, Forrester's Frontier Travels not only offers big-sky opportunity, we also offer the finest range of hospitality in the West. Gorgeous lodging facilities set along the Big Horn River. A historic lodge at the edge of Glacier National Park. Backcountry outfitting in Wyoming's Cloud Peak Wilderness. All with uncompromising service, affordable prices, Montana native guides and gourmet cuisine featuring wild game. At Forrester's, we have one goal. To help you escape, relax, and enjoy the magic of a promise kept. | "Great hunting! Great fishing! Choose either, you will not be disappointed." John Havlicek |
"With 7,000 fish per mile, and the guides to put you on them, novice or expert, you'll succeed." Tim Boyle | The Bighorn is a magical tailwater known for prolific year-round hatches and gin-clear water. Census figures show an average of 7,000 rainbows and browns per mile. (Nearly twice that of any other Montana river.) Many are 18 to 22 inches in length. And there's no one better able to hook you up with those trout than the elite, Orvis-endorsed guides of Bighorn River Resort. Overlooking this legendary river sits our hand-crafted log lodge, featuring a full line Orvis pro shop, a conference center and a gourmet dining room with a view of the canyon. Our guest cabins are impeccably decorated and include queen beds and private baths. And our attentative staff is second to none. To stay at the Bighorn River Resort is to relax in the rustic luxury of Montana's finest hospitality. |
| Built in 1906 by the Great Northern Railway, Summit Station Lodge is a wonderful place to experience Montana's wild beauty. Located on the Continental Divide near the border of Glacier National Park, this facility features executive accommodations and dining with an incredible mountain view. It also features some of the finest back-country fly fishing in the world. In the company of master Blackfeet guides, you'll stalk the fabled big-trout waters in the area. Seldom-fished and remote, these lakes and rivers are surrounded by glacier-carved peaks. You can expect browns and rainbows to 10 lbs. Brookies to 6 lbs. Pike from 5 to 10 lbs. Plus, trophy cutthroat. In fact, the state record cutt of 16 lbs. was taken in Glacier. The combination of remote beauty, deluxe accommodations and terrific fishing makes Summit Station Lodge a relaxing getaway. | ![]() |
| There may be no better way to explore high-country lakes and streams than from our remote outpost camp, high in Wyoming's Cloud Peak Wilderness. Lazy Boot's family-run outfitting team will take you on horseback deep into this glorious countryside. Our camp is located at 9600 ft., complete with wall tents, stoves, tables, chairs, lanterns and cots. From there, you can explore the wilderness. Fish clear lakes and streams for cutthroat, brook, rainbow and golden trout. Or just relax in the rarefied mountain air. This is an ideal trip for your family, customers or as a getaway for yourself. Trips for the disabled are also available through Forrester's. | "The three trips I've taken with Forrester's are some of the finest memories of my life." Johnny Miller |
"I hunted. I fished. I had a damn fine time." Bobby Knight | Not everyone comes to Montana to fish. After leasing and establishing the first double endorsed Orvis Lodge, Nick and Francine have turned their attention to the Bighorn River Resort. And when you see the Bighorn River Resort and Bighorn Valley, you'll know why. Thousands of acres of wheat fields and grassland cut by brush coulees make it a haven for Ring Neck Pheasants, Hungarian Partridge, Chukar Partridge and Sharptail Grouse. Forrester's has access to more than 50,000 acres of this prime bird habitat. Our professional guides will take you through field after field, hunting over expertly trained dogs, surrounded by big sky and mountains. All this so close to the Bighorn River offers you yet another option -- the cast and blast. Spend two days in the field and two days on the river. It's a sportsman dream come true. Upland bird hunting trips are also available through Summit Station Lodge on a limited basis |
