The local resort also offers accommodations for overnight visitors and features regular entertainment in the Saloon. Check out the upcoming live music schedule.
First up, enjoy the talents of El Wencho on May 3rd and 4th. The powerhouse duo delivers big sound that relates the Montana lifestyle through immersive lyrics, catchy melodies and driving rhythms.
