Nine Quarter Circle is a Montana guest ranch and dude ranch located in Gallatin Gateway, Montana. We offer an authentic Montana dude ranch family vacation including horseback riding and fishing. The Nine Quarter Circle Ranch at 7,000 feet is surrounded by National Forests containing a million acres of primitive wilderness. The ranch provides a mixed pattern of riding and select variety of unspoiled trout waters. The ranch is located in the high country of the Montana Rockies alongside a swift mountain stream called the Taylor Fork of the Gallatin River. It is nestled amongst lodge pole pines overlooking the northwest corner of Yellowstone Park on the east slope of the Continental Divide. The ranch history dates back to the 1800's, when it was first homesteaded. The Indians once ran elk herds here, Jim Bridger rode after buffalo, Chief Joseph passed near here on his retreat to Canada. The stage coach lurches no more over the rocky trails; the hunter is gone with his long bowie, but nature's wilderness still remains.
