Here’s to the start of our 49th season!

The last few weeks have been full of lots of hard work getting the cabins and lodge deep cleaned, a new deck built, the horses and mules shoed and in shape, trails cleared, yard work done, food cooked and so much more! We are grateful for another great group of staff and so looking forward to a fun summer.. 🤎

Our Story

WE LOVE WHAT WE DO

The Triple J Ranch was homesteaded in 1921 as a land grant. Cattle and hay were raised on the ranch until the late 1930’s. But because of the pristine location, proximity to the Bob Marshall Wilderness, and abundance of wildlife, outfitting for hunting of elk, deer and bear began. The name of the Ranch came from a cattle brand, and you’ll see our horses with JJJ on their left hip.

Max and Ann Barker purchased the ranch in 1976 and spent many years turning a run-down hunting lodge into a dude ranch. While they have since passed on, they left a wonderful legacy. Ernie and Kim Barker, along with daughter, Hayley actively manage the ranch today. Ernie is a licensed outfitter with the Montana Board of Outfitters and a permittee on the Lewis and Clark and Flathead National Forest. We're passionate about this area and our industry and are very involved in our local community. Our family is committed to providing a top-notch and unforgettable vacation.
