springs from the Bear Paw Mountains, which are 10 miles to the south.
Havre, the-118-year old county seat of Hill County, is the commercial hub of north central Montana. It lies on the "Hi-Line", otherwise known as US Highway 2, which runs east-west across the northern reach of the state, roughly following the route of the historic Great Northern Railway. Today, rail service is provided by Amtrak, Burlington Northern, and Santa Fe.
With a population of 10,000, Havre is Montana's 8 th largest city. Havre is home to Montana State University-Northern, the region's comprehensive university offering programs at the associate, baccalaureate, and master's levels. In addition to the hospital and university, other major employers include Burlington Northern Railway, Northern Montana Hospital, and the US Border Patrol. The Havre City-County Airport ( IATA : HVR), located on the west side of Havre, and therefore just minutes from the ranch, has two runways of 5205' and 3699' in length.
About 6 miles south of the ranch is largest county park in the US, the 10,000 acre Beaver Creek Park. This treasured community resource boasts stream and lake fishing, swimming, camping, cross-country skiing, and snowmobiling. Downhill skiing is available on a weather-permitting basis at the nearby Bear Paw Ski Bowl.
Great Falls, Montana's 3 rd largest city, is home to the C.M. Russell Museum and Art Auction, the internationally recognized Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center on the Missouri River, and Giant Springs, one of the largest fresh water springs in the world. Great Falls International Airport is served daily by Delta, United, Northwest, Horizon (Alaska), and Allegiant. Driving from Great Falls to Beaver Creek Ranch is accessible throughout the year via US Highway 87. The last 2 ½ miles to the ranch are by a county-maintained gravel road.
This region of Montana, know as Russell Country for its famous cowboy-artist, Charles Marion Russell, is graced by beautiful landscapes and "Big Sky". Glacier National Park lies 170 miles due west of the ranch. Missouri Breaks National Monument is about 60 miles to the south.
