The decor was beautiful, food was excellent, there were a plethora of activities for our family of 17 which included children and grandchildren. My favorite activities were sapphire mining and cowboy. The staff was very attentive and always concerned that we had everything we needed. The ranch manager, Will, ran a well managed resort. Our kids/grandkids had never been fly fishing before and they all said they now have a new hobby. Our stay was over July 4th and Will arranged for a cow boy concert around the fire pit which excellent and a great way to end our stay. I highly recommend the resort.

The accommodations were lovely; darling fully furnished cottages with a spectacular clubhouse/ dining area all looked out across a beautiful meadow with Rock Creek bubbling in the background. The service was top notch with every attention to detail handled by Will and his staff. The food was incredible; what a gem Chef Casey is! He's a master at developing flavors and creating beautiful dishes using local meats and fresh vegetables. His potatoes are legendary, and his cobblers are the best I've ever had! The quality of the food and wine are first class. The all inclusive aspect allowed us to try many new things. Fly fishing was fantastic, and our guide, Henry, was very patient with us newbies. His instructions miraculously saw us both catching cutthroat trout. We also did archery (super fun!), horseback riding, and had a ton of fun doing some distance shooting. I was very intimidated, but with fabulous instruction, felt relaxed and really enjoyed it. We enjoyed some hikes and gem mining to round out our time. Highly recommend a getaway to The Meadows.

There is a ver nice interpretive center, walking trails and access to Lolo creek. I particularly enjoyed the Creek access. Lewis and Clark camped here twice. Once on the first leg of their journey traveling west and then on their return east. On their return the expedition temporarily split up to explore independently. This was the place they split so this is indeed a historical spot. I visited with my children and grandchildren. The kids particularly enjoyed wading in Lolo Creek as did our Labrador Retriever Gigi who retrieved lots of sticks. I am very glad we took the time to visit and highly recommend Travelers Rest Park.

This is only the second site along the Lewis and Clark trail where physical evidence of the Corps…read moreof Discovery has been found. This is one of the few spots where the Corps stopped both on the westward and eastbound legs of their journey. It was a serendipity discovery made when archelogists were trying to calibrate an instrument that detected magnetic anomolies. They moved it about 300 feet from a power line and turned it on. Amazingly, the instrument detected metal traces. By moving it around they found a rectangular area of trace mercury depositions. They had found the latrine for the Corps! The mercury was from soldiers taking a laxative pill called "Dr. Rush's Thunderbolts" that contained mercurous chloride (calomel). In the weeks the Corps camped nearby, the members of the expedition "excreted" enough of the medication to permit a thin layer to be detected. By referring to the Army Field Manual used by Lewis, who did everything by the book, they were able to find the camp, just 200 feet away. There they uncovered some bits of melted lead dropped from making bullets and found evidence of a blacksmith operation. There is an small museum that tells more of the story of Lewis and Clark. Occasionally, you may also find local reenactors who have set up a replica of what the Corps of Discovery's camp might have looked like. When in Lolo, visit Traveler's Rest!

However, I did not draw a tag for either of these hunts, even though Mr. Miller stated on the phone and in his hunt documentation that these were "GUARANTEED DRAWS". I tried on subsequent occasions to purchase a surplus tag from Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks Department with no luck. I spoke to and texted Mr. Miller and he assured me that, in his words, "I will make it right regardless". Since the hunting season did not end until the end of November, I did not try to contact Mr. Miller until early December. Since then I have sent certified letters, called, and texted Mr. Miller. All with no response. When I tried to access the Trapper Peak Outfitters website I found it had been shut down. I think Mr. Miller is trying to hide from his obligations. I want my deposit money returned. Be forewarned about Trapper Peak Outfitters and Mr. Laramy Miller.

However, the environment is very toxic to anyone new attempting to go in groups. I recently finally got my underweight much younger brother to go to the gym, and began teaching him basic barbell lifts with a pretty standard Starting Strength method. In the middle of a squat rep that my young brother did incorrectly (which I responded to by instructing him to rack the weight so we could the problem - excessive forward leaning), a man at the next rack began interjecting uninvited advice that he should "look up" since, according to him, "you're doing it wrong!". Not only is the.. "suggestion" inefficient form, as it prompts a more vertical back angle as has been heavily discussed in the strength training community (very notably by Mark Rippetoe), but the man interjecting the uninvited advice repeatedly and arrogantly stated "you're welcome", as if I should be thanking him for his demeaning demands. It turns out, because the man happened to be in a relationship with the owner (who was also present), even though not a trainer himself, it was my young brother and I who were chastised by the owner, insisting that we "keep [all manner of coaching] to [our]selves", but the arrogant, inefficient, and uninvited interjections of her boyfriend (himself not a trainer, apparently) were perfectly acceptable. This double standard on the part of the owner was very unprofessional, showing a blatant emotion-based favoritism and bias. The experience was very disheartening for my much younger brother, who was hoping for (and had expected, by my assurance) an accepting environment. Instead, he was put off from working out, and commented on how he personally felt unwelcome. Any gym is bound to have some opinionated people who give incorrect or harmful advice directed at those who never asked for it... but having that be hypocritically defended by the owner (who also insists we restrict the advice that was actually asked for) is just unacceptable. I cannot speak to the quality of the certified trainers there, but can say that the owner herself has little to no effort invested in keeping her business professional instead of personal. Uninvited advice that directly contradicts the expertise of trainers FAR more accredited than any you could find here in a valley in western Montana is not a good thing for anyone. And any place that accepts this (as long as you're dating the owner), but insists everyone else adhere to different and more strict rules is not a place you should want to be training.

Within a few sessions, my health and energy returned, I was far less stressed and felt truly blown away! Ranya's mesmerizing voice, intuitive attention to the comfort and receptivity of the client's body, and decades of experience make her private sessions and group classes not only physically relaxing, invigorating, and healing but, for me, transcendent spiritual experiences, as well, that calm and restore the body-mind connection.
