A spectacular setting along Montana's
Rocky Mountain Front
Nestled among the peaks of Montana's rugged East Front, The Nature Conservancy's Pine Butte Guest Ranch offers a unique opportunity to study natural history as well as ride, hike, swim, and relax in one of the country's most spectacular western landscapes.
The Pine Butte Guest Ranch exists on the strong foundations of the Circle 8 Ranch, owned and operated by Kenneth and Alice Gleason from 1930 to 1978. The Nature Conservancy takes great pride in carrying on the Gleason's Circle 8 tradition of hospitality, comfort and friendliness as well as respect for the magnificent country that surrounds the ranch.

Today, the Pine Butte Guest Ranch is owned and operated by The Nature Conservancy, an international nonprofit conservation organization committed to the global preservation of natural diversity. All proceeds from the guest ranch are used to support the work of The Nature Conservancy of Montana.
