lan Henderson and his daughter try living on a
working ranch in the Montana mountains.
Imagine you're a 12-year-old girl. Ponies and clothes
are your favourite things. You're wearing your new
cowboy boots, new jeans, a blue checked shirt and
a real cowboy hat when a tall cowboy asks if you'd
are to help him round up the ponies. If you're
magining it properly, you're about as happy as a
12-year-old girl can be.
I'd taken my daughter to The Ranch at Rock Creek
6,000acre spread in Montana which opened to
guests last year and may well be the ultimate place
to live out your cowboy dreams, whatever your age
I settled in to a proper Western-style saddle and
rode out beside my daughter across Rock Creek. We
followed a trail along the river before heading uphill
towards the high forests. We were glad of our wide
brimmed hats until we reached the shade of the pine
woods
This is big, empty country where much of the
American cultural identity was forged by tough
explorers such as Lewis and Clark, the first white
men through Montana. Tom McCombs told us tales
of grizzly bears by a mountain stream as we ate our
sandwiches. Together we'd tracked elk, found where a
brown bear had been hunting for food and trailed
bobcat away from a kill.
These are people who know an awful lot about
rodeo, fishing, shooting and the history of where the
live, and are itching to share. On my first attempt at
fly fishing, I managed to catch a trout, thanks to the
help of Alex the fisherman. At the shooting range
Max coaxed my daughter from being gun-shy to
shattering eight clay targets in a row.
its hard to know what those early explorers would
have made of the ranch's well-appointed spa, the
swimming pool or the 'Mercantile', full of upmarket
clothes where my daughter bought her cowboy
boots. But they would have recognised most of the
ingredients in chef Josh Drage's cooking - he spend
a couple of days a week on the long Montana dirt
roads, buying fresh meat and vegetables from the
farms farther down the valley
The ranch house is new but feels just like a home
built of logs ought to. Downstairs there are crackling
log fires, leather-covered sofas, guns and animal
skins on the walls, baskets of homemade cookies
and books about the history of the place. Everyone
has their own mountain bike for their stay withthe name of their
room hung on it,
and you're invited to
borrow hats, coats
and cowboy boots
whenever you need
them. Someone's paid
attention to almost
every detail.
There are other
places to stay on the
property that offer
fewer people and more of the silent outdoors. Along the
river are cabins with underfloor heating in the stone-built
bathroom, furs on the bed and the soothing soundtrack
of the creek outside. There are a couple of secluded
family-sized ranch houses, and for real isolation there's
Trapper Cabin, which comes with its own jeep to get you
to breakfast.
When you're standing on the porch, coffee in hand
looking across the early mist on the river to mountains
touched gold by the sun, the sheer beauty of Montana
that struck Lewis and Clark stays with you. And
somehow Rock Creek makes you feel as if you belong
there. My daughter swears she will be back. As soon
as she's old enough she's going to join Big Tom as an
apprentice cowgirl

Лан Гентерсон и его дочь пытаются жить на рабочее ранчо в горах Монтаны. Представьте, что вы 12-летняя девочка. Пони и одежда Ваши любимые вещи. Вы носите свои новые ковбойские сапоги, новые джинсы, синюю клетчатую рубашку и настоящую ковбойскую шляпу, когда высокий ковбой просит помочь ему окружить пони. Если вы воображаете это должным образом, то вы наверняка так же счастливы, как 12-летняя девочка может быть.Я взял мою дочь в Ранчо в Рок-Крике. В Монтане распространилось 6 000 акр, которые открылись для гостей в прошлом году и вполне могут быть конечным местом для воплощения вашей мечты становления ковбоем, независимо от вашего возраста. Я расположился в правильном седле в западном стиле и выехал рядом со своей дочерью через Рок-Крик. Мы следовали по тропе вдоль реки, прежде чем отправиться в гору к высоким лесам. Мы были рады нашим широким покрашенным шляпам, пока мы не достигли тени соснового леса. Это большая, пустая страна, где большая часть Американской культурной идентичность была подделана жестким исследователями, такие как Льюис и Кларк, первых белых мужчин через Монтану. Том МакКомбс рассказал нам сказки про гризли медведей горным потоком, когда мы ели нашбутерброды. Вместе мы отслеживали лося, находили, где бурый медведь охотился за едой и выслеживали американскую рысь в нескольких секундах от гибели (тип того)
Это люди, которые очень много знают о родео, рыбалке, стрельбе и история того, где они живут и обмениваются эитм вплоть до зуда. С моей первой попытки рыбной ловли, мне удалось поймать форель, благодаря помощи Алекса рыбака. На стрельбище Макс уговорил мою дочь от испуга, разбивая восемь глиняных целей подряд. Трудно понять, что эти ранние исследователи сделали из хорошо оборудованного курорта ранчо, бассейн или «Mercantile», полный элитной одежды, где моя дочь купила свои ковбойские ботинки. Но они бы признали большую часть ингредиенов в приготовлении еды шеф-повара Джоша Драге - он проводит пару дней в неделю на длинной грязной дорогие Монтаны, покупая свежее мясо и овощи изфермы вниз по долине.
Ранчо дом новый, но чувствуешь здесь себя как дома, построенного из журналов. Внизу треск бревенчатых пожаров, кожаный диван, пушки и животные, шкуры на стенах, корзины домашнего печенья и книги об истории этого места. Каждый имеет свой собственный горный велосипед для своего пребывания с именем своей комнаты ,и вам можно одолжить шляпы, пальтои ковбойские сапоги всякий раз, когда они вам нужны. Кто-то обратил внимание почти каждой подробности.
Есть и другие места для проживания на недвижимости, предлагающая меньше людей и больше безмолвных улиц. Вдоль реки - каюты с подогревом полов в каменной ванной, меха на кровати и успокаивающий звук от ручья снаружи. Есть пара уединенных семейных ранчо, а для реальной изоляции есть Каюта Trapper, которая поставляется с собственным джипом, чтобы забирать вас на завтрак.
Когда вы стоите на крыльце, с кофе в руке, глядя на ранний туман на реке в горы, которые освещены золотом солнца, чистой красоты Монтаны, которая поразила Льюиса и Кларка, остается с вами. А также как-то Rock Creek заставляет вас чувствовать, что вы принадлежите этому месту. Моя дочь клянется, что она вернется. Как только она вырастет,она собирается присоединиться к Большому Тому как ученица-ковбойша.
