Trip to Montana
Rob fished. We slept in a teepee, photographed the wild Pryor Ponies and visited Marvel's homestead and log house in Deadman's Canyon, now Bighorn National Recreation Area. Good times!
Do it! This tipi was on the Blackfoot Indian Reservation, east of Glacier National Park, Lodgepole Gallery and Tipi Village. We also stayed in a "Deluxe" tipi on the west side of the park - queen size bed, etc. But the one on the reservation was truly out on the range and felt like the real deal. We rented sleeping bags (with sheet liner) and mats. They provided the wood for the fire.
My parents and my grandmother once taught school on the Crow Indian Reservation, so this was on my "Bucket List." Do it!
Airports include Glacier International Airport in Kalispell, Montana, Great Falls International Airport in Great Falls, Montana and Calgary International Airport in Alberta, Canada. http://www.blackfeetculturecamp.com/
Not just a teepee, but a teepee out on the range! I can envision "Dances with Wolves" being filmed there. And Rob that is one good looking trout!!
ReplyDeletewow! How cool. I'd be interested in getting some details about this from you as its something we would love to do. Looks awesome.

Maybe we should do this as a Foss Fam vacation!!! It looks fun!
ReplyDeleteSo much fun!!! You guys are rocking the vacations right now. How did you ever hear of this?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info . We fly into those 3 airports all the time!
ReplyDeleteokay, now I know how to spell "tipi"... and does it make me a wuss if I would prefer the tipi with the queen size bed???
ReplyDeleteIt is spelled differently every place I look...The tipi with the bed was pretty cool. No way are you a wuss (I never knew how to spell that!)
ReplyDeleteIt's like Indian Village at Forest Home for Adults! Love it!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love that you have a "bucket list". What else is on your list?
