Upper Canyon Outfitters

Upper Canyon Outfitters Equine facilitated wellness, fly fishing, 4x4 & hiking tours, guided & non-guided hunts.

Also known as the “Tate Ranch” which was homesteaded by our Grandparents Peck and Mary Tate in 1910. The Tate Ranch has always been a working ranch in the Ruby Valley and in 1981 Bill and Bernice Tate opened their doors and set a place at the table for ranch guest. With the help of their family the ranch has grown into one of the premier guest ranches in the state of Montana. Now the ranch is mana

ged by Donna (Tate) & Jake McDonald who still believe in true western hospitality and once you arrive at the ranch you become part of the Upper Canyon family. Without a doubt I believe that Upper Canyon is a success not only because of the close family ties, but our friendly staff who are always willing to share with you not only a smile but a true western experience. When you return to Upper Canyon you will see many of the same guest and staff year after year. We offer guided hunting and fly fishing trips, as well as serve as a premier guest ranch in Southwest Montana.

Upper Canyon Outfitters will be hosting a week-long event from Monday - Friday, 1- 5 June 2025. We are expecting an influx of 270 people during that time. The event is organized by a company called Tough Stump Technologies (TST). Tough Stump Technologies is a Veteran-led company that specializes in advanced drone technology and communications systems. They are committed to advancing national security through cutting-edge drone and communications technology. These patriots bring battlefield-proven expertise to serve those who protect and defend our nation, state and local law enforcement, fire departments, federal agencies, and military units across active duty, National Guard, and Reserve components.

All drone operations will be restricted to pre-approved areas and closely monitored to ensure safety and privacy. Attendees are fully briefed on respecting the land, the community, and the property owners. On Wednesday and Thursday (June 3–4), expect increased traffic between Alder and UCO, particularly between 7:00 AM and 6:00 PM.

Tough Stump has been holding events here for the past five years, and we’re proud to welcome them back. They’ve consistently demonstrated professionalism, friendliness, and deep respect for our land and community.

This video highlights some of the meaningful work being done through the partnership between Upper Canyon Outfitters and Upper Canyon Outreach. In this program, we had the honor of working with a group of Gold Star teens, creating space for connection, horsemanship, growth, and support. Your donations help make programs like this possible and allow us to continue serving service members and their families in meaningful ways.
