The property is 4.96 acres surrounded by forests and trails leading
into Yellowstone National Park and the Absoroka/Beartooth Wilderness
Area. It is very quiet and private,up in the tall timber, with a
territorial view of the mountains in our valley. Short hikes from
our home give splendid views of Electric Peak or one can hike or
bike the wilderness trails to high mountain lakes. Many of these
lakes are full of trout just waiting to take your fly or lure.

special seasons for Mountain Lion, Mountain Goat, Bison, Moose, and
