We sadly had to leave Jake and Monique’s place and head east to visit another spot in Kathy’s National Park book. It was a two hour drive through Missoula and towards Butte to a town called Deer Lodge. We made it at about 2:30 pm and were lucky enough to catch the 3 pm tour.
We were blown away at this national historical site. It is so well preserved and is still an actual working cattle ranch, one of two in the National Park System. If you are in the area, stop by this place. It is incredible. Instead of going into details, here’s a link to the history. https://www.nps.gov/grko/index.htm
The tour of the home is amazing and the guide was so informative of the history and characters. After the guided tour we walked the grounds, buildings, and exhibits until closing time. We could have spent the day here.
We headed a few miles south to a wild camp area and set up for the night near a rushing stream.
Here are some more photos of the day. https://www.overlandadventureexcursions.com/photos-albums/nggallery/album/20250629-grant-kohrs-ranch
