Triple Creek will open for its first-ever Thanksgiving Celebration this year from November 21 to December 2, 2013. The highlight is a special Thanksgiving feast created by Chef Jacob Leatherman that pays homage to the bounty of America. That will be followed the next day by a Thanksgiving Barbecue. Late fall and early winter are ideal times to visit Triple Creek Ranch, where a day might begin with an early morning horseback ride or a team penning competition. Depending on the weather, guests can go fly fishing for trophy cutthroat trout on the Bitterroot River at this Orvis-endorsed ranch or head out for dog sledding with Triple Creek’s resident musher, Jessie Royer, who will compete in her 12th Iditarod in Alaska this winter. This winter from Jan 4 -19, 2014, Dog Sledding is being offered free to Ranch guests, a $325 per person value.
