These spring storms usually occur late in March or early April and, due to the mild temperatures, the snow seldom lasts but a few days.

the “Beartooth Front,” considered one of the most desirable and sought
after regions of the State. The area is generally bounded by Red Lodge,
Montana and the Rock Creek Canyon on the east, and Nye, Montana and the
Stillwater River Canyon on the west with massive Beartooth Plateau to the
south lying just north of Yellowstone National Park. Numerous small
communities lie within this area being Red Lodge and Absarokee on the more
populated end and Luther, Roscoe, Fishtail, Dean and Nye with lesser
populations. The primary industry in the area is ranching and though
recreational uses here are increasing due to the availability of streams,
rivers, trails and the National Forest there has been little development.
Ranches are still to a large degree held by third and fourth generation
family members. The Hall Ranch is typical of this scenario having been in
the family for over 50 years. Consequently this is a rare opportunity to
acquire a large ranch in one block along the “Beartooth Front.’

neighboring ranches. An occasional black bear, coyote, bobcat, or mountain
lion may be seen on the property too. Upland birds of grouse and partridge
are common as are golden and bald eagles.
