ABOUT
THE RIDGE MT
Running R Ranch
The ranch sits on top of the ridge just South of Columbus, Montana overlooking the Stillwater and Yellowstone Rivers with back drops of both the Beartooth and Crazy Mountain Ranges. The views from high above the valley with the Beartooth Range in the background is one of the great aspects about the venue. You will be surrounded by beauty from colorful sunrises to majestic sunsets and into the starry nights. The location offers an intimate and private feeling as it is tucked away above the commotion of the Stillwater Valley.
