The Madison Valley is true Montana. Located just fifty miles northwest of Yellowstone National Park this broad mountain valley is carved by the world famous Madison River, a true fisherman's dream. To the east the jagged peaks of the Madison Mountains soar to over 11,000 feet and the older more rounded Gravelly range and Tobacco Root Mountains defining the western horizon. Surrounded by National forest, including the 254,000 acre Lee Metcalf Wilderness area, this is a vital part of the Yellowstone Ecosystem and boasts an impressive array of wildlife including elk, deer, bald eagle, wolves, black and grizzly bear, moose, beaver, antelope, as well as many others species.
Area activities include fishing, hiking, horse back riding, rafting, mountaineering, canoe and kayaking, mountain biking, wildlife viewing, rock climbing, hunting, four wheeling as well as shopping and dining in the town of Ennis. This is a great home base for exploring the mountains and valleys of Montana
