 Summer on Brush Mountain is quiet and rich. The Rocky Mountains are filled with wildlife and Brush Mountain Ranch offers an incredible opportunity to enjoy the scenery, fish in the ponds, take a hike, swim beneath Slater Falls, or simply listen to the quakies rustle from the porch of your cabin. The Routt National Forest boundary is directly adjacent to our own 4,000 acres so bring your mountain bike, your hiking boots, your camera, your horses (we have a fully equipped corral and pasture for them too), and explore!
Brush Mountain Ranch operates Whispering Pine Lodge as a Bed and Breakfast in the summer months (from May to August). We offer our cabins and facilities on a per night basis to individuals, families and groups. Kirsten, our cook in the summer months will fix you up a warm healthy breakfast each morning and help you to find the right trail to hike for the day or suggest a good book to read in the hammock out back. For your afternoon and evening meals, we encourage you to bring food that you can prepare in the kitchenette in your cabin, or consider taking a drive into Baggs, Wyoming to have a dinner at one of the local restaurants.
For heartier campers, we also offer a number of rustic campsites throughout the mountain. Please see Accommodations for more details.
Reserve your cabin or campsite today and bring your family out to experience the Rocky Mountain wilderness.
 Fishing – There are now 7 spring-fed ponds on Brush Mountain. Mike has spent a great deal of time and energy to make these habitats friendly environments for the wildlife on the mountain. Some of the ponds have been stocked with brook trout and are available for fishing trips on a catch-and-release basis. In addition, Slater Creek runs through the property and offers a number of excellent opportunities to catch some nice ‘brookies’.

 Mountain Biking – Whispering pine lodge is located directly on the Continental Divide Trail that runs from Canada all the way to Chile. We welcome bikers who are traveling the trail, and we invite you to plan your trip so that you can stay with us... warm up in the hot tub and start your morning with a warm breakfast before you hit the road again. Be sure to ask about the CD Trail discount when you contact us about your reservation.
 Hiking – The numerous game trails and access roads give you a multitude of opportunities to test your hiking abilities, from the most challenging full-day outings, to the two-hour modest jaunt. All hikes will expose you to an outdoor adventure on Brush Mountain. We have everything from mountain lion to lynx, deer, coyote, elk, owls, eagles, and hawks, as well as 54 bluebird houses that are 80% occupied.
 Photography – We have a variety of challenging opportunities for those who enjoy photography. Our wilderness ranch is the home to many types of wildlife, from owls to eagles, to elk, deer, badgers, blue grouse and sharp tails, to name a few. The challenge of positioning yourself to catch one of them on film can be very rewarding.
 General Relaxation – Brush Mountain is the perfect place to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, and just kick back and relax. Lounge in a hammock with a good book, or watch the spectacular sight of the sun setting over the hills.
