"Three Forks Horse Drive - Part 1" Montana Travelogue by cpiers47
Montana Travel Guide: 1,436 reviews and 3,213 photos
There are all sorts of choices to make about where to sit! Adorable children in cowboy hats are plentiful.
The streets of Three Forks were lined with people of all ages, all looking hopefully south, waiting for the first glimpse of the drive.
And, like everything else, the drive is best seen with a good friend! In my case, I was joined by the adorably-pregnant Lacy.
Stagecoaches from nearby Virginia City gave rides to tourists, up and down Main Street all day.
The drive is organized by Montana Horses - connected with the Mantle Ranch. Each summer, hundreds of horses from the ranch are sold or leased, especially to dude ranches around the state.
Before they're shipped, they're moved from winter pastures to summer pastures on the ranch. It's become quite the event in Three Forks and Willow Creek. It's quite expensive to join as a rider, something I'd love to do.
Watching them head through town is rather exciting...
