Are you looking for an off-the- beaten-path summer adventure that offers breathtaking scenery, world-class wildlife watching, and an endless supply of uncrowded backcountry? Look no further than American Prairie. This vast, intact expanse of Montana grassland is a hidden gem just waiting to be explored!

Located in Central Montana, American Prairie is a nonprofit organization working to connect, conserve, and share more than 3 million acres of shortgrass prairie. By strategically purchasing small pockets of private land to connect large swaths of public lands, they create critical wildlife corridors, restore prairie habitat, and offer visitors access to Montana’s Northern Great Plains.

Since its inception in 2001, American Prairie has grown from an audacious idea to a vast prairie destination and refuge for hundreds of species. Every year, thousands of visitors from all over the state visit the prairie to view wildlife and explore its half-million-acre land base.
