Emigrant Peak - Paradise Valley, Montana

Emigrant peak casts a broad shadow over the well-known Paradise Valley in Southwest Montana. The scene of such movies as “A River Runs Through It” and “The Horse Whisperer”, Paradise Valley has its unique share of both trophy homes and deep rooted ranches and farms. Much like Pikes Peak on the front range of Colorado, Emigrant Peak is often framed in the large living room windows of the homes belonging to those lucky enough to live or visit such a wonderful place. Fly-fishing abounds on the Yellowstone River which snakes its way through the valley and climbers find a world of wonder in the neighboring peaks in the Northern Absaroka Mountains including Mount Cowen, Black Mountain, the Pyramid, Crow Mountain, Chico Peak, Marten Peak and Mount Wallace.

Today he is a fishing guide who often takes clients down the Yellowstone River which runs through Paradise Valley near Emigrant Peak.
