We are located about an hour east of Missoula, Montana down Hwy 200.

Depart Missoula airport out of the main driveway. Turn right onto Broadway and soon after the next left onto Airway Lane. Follow the signs to I90 East. There will be four Missoula exits. Take the last one, which is Exit 109 - East Missoula to Bonner, Great Falls, and Highway 200. You will travel several miles, much of it along the Blackfoot River. Just after you pass mile marker 24, turn right onto Sunset Hill Road. It is also the exit for Paws Up Ranch. The paved road will soon end, and you will be on a curvy gravel road through the headquarters of Paws Up. The road will veer around the red-roofed white school house on the right. It will straighten out for about a mile, and end at a T, shown here:

Turn left at the “T”,

which is still on Sunset Hill (Elk Creek goes to the right).

You will pass this 2-story green house on the left.

The road will veer right after the house and you will see a yellow road sign on your right indicating that the road will be curvy. After you crest the hill and start to descend, turn right at the first road you see. At this point you will see the gravel pit and gate on your left:

The road will start to descend. When approaching the Y at the gravel pit gate, turn right.

FYI, If you get to the river, you missed your turn.

You will then turn right and go through an unmarked gate - enjoy our infamous welcome signs that say things like “NO”, and “VIOLATORS WILL BE VENTILATED”! . Continue on the road past the tree farm and pastures.

Continue up the hill through a barn yard area, past the corral on the left, through a gate with a wooden draw bridge to the side, and up to the main house and cabins. Welcome!
