Welcome to Augusta, Montana
Augusta is the home of 'The Wildest One Day Show on Earth', an annual American Legion Rodeo, which brings people from all over. The area of this present-day town was settled as Lincoln Gulch, in honor of the President. Gold brought people here, and in the 1860s the small town had log houses, a bakery, whiskey shops, and a store. By the 1880s the boom had run its course and the hopefuls were off to other strikes.
Augusta is a gateway to the immense Bob Marshall Wilderness and adjoining Scapegoat Wilderness, covering a million acres, which offers hikers and backpackers access to the unspoiled, rugged beauty of the high country. Augusta sits on the northern edge of Gold West Country and is a friendly town in a scenic location. There are restaurants, motels, and a full array of visitor services.

Hunts include lodging on the ranch in one of the restored cabins or stay in the ranch house and lodge. Antelope are plentiful on our ranches and are a hoot to call in with a decoy. Get both a deer and antelope in one hunt. Or is it geese and ducks you are looking for? We have barley fields and streams going through the ranch that attract them on their flight south.

Sun River Canyon, where our lodge is located, is an eastern gateway to the vast Lewis and Clark Forest and the unique Bob Marshall Wilderness Area. The majestic Rocky Mountains suddenly end the otherwise rolling foothill country of eastern Montana. The high rock walls rise up abruptly in majestic grandeur to welcome those who venture into the last of the true mountain wilderness areas.
