Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area is a massive recreation area spread across Wyoming and…read moreMontana. There is a visitor center in each state and vastly different personalities to the area at either end. If you're looking to visit the canyons head to the Wyoming visitor center. You can not access the canyons by car from Montana (without a 2+ hour drive). From the Montana side you can visit the Yellowtail Dam (currently closed due to Covid), there is boat access here and you can fish in the river. Fly fishing is very popular in this area. This is a beautiful area to visit especially if you have access to a boat.

We caught fish - most of which were large. The food was excellent. On trips like these I have often subsisted on Doritos, peanuts, and other questionable ultra processed "food". This time each dinner included a huge salad, meat, a starch - pasta, rice, etc. and a vegetable plus desert. Excellent and we didn't go away hungry. My favorite meal is breakfast and you get a wide choice of options including my favorite bacon and eggs. Lunches were provided on our floats of the Bighorn and were very good with more food than I could eat. Dave and Cary and their two labs were great hosts. I highly recommend

I booked Thursday thru Sunday and brought my 26 year old son along for the trip. Everything about our stay was perfect! the lodge and our cabin was clean, welcoming and comfortable. The food was excellent, and our fishing guide Chad was incredible. We caught dozens of fish over two days, and when coming back to the lodge at the end of the day we were welcomed by Cary and David with a cold drink and a great dinner. Cary and David provide guests with everything they need, and no detail is overlooked. I highly recommend the Bighorn Riverview Lodge and Cabins, it was perfect, and can't wait to go back!

Thank you, Bighorn Angler!…read more I couldn't be more thankful to Bighorn Angler and my super-great guide, Gabe, for making our fishing experience so memorable! Gabe, George, Ethan and Audra were incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and patient. They put us into fishing spots where they knew there was great fishing. Memories Bob, Heather, Ryan and I will forever cherish!!! Lastly not only did our guides do a great job the BigHorn Angler offers housing and full course meals that were fabulous. George comes off the water from guiding and into the kitchen to help prepare the meals, remarkable! Thank you, Gabe, George, Ethan, Audra and Bighorn Angler, for a truly wonderful and unforgettable experience! Bob, Carol, Heather & Ryan... we plan to see you again next year!!!

My father and I have been fishing with Brad Downey and his guides at Angler's Edge since 2001. We…read moretraveled to Montana for fishing trips in 2001, 2009, 2012, and just recently in August of 2019. The Bighorn River is perhaps the best trout fishery in the lower 48. We have been guided by Brad and others, most recently by Dave Palumbo. A+ experience. Conditions were a bit tough the week we were there, but we were consistently catching more fish than others on the stream, noticeably so. Guides were constantly asking Dave for advise, and what flies/rigs we were using! The accommodations at Angler's Edge are as wonderful as the guiding/fishing. The property boasts two well-maintained guest residences. One is a typical house with a finished basement. It has two full baths, two queen bedrooms on the main level, and three bedrooms in the lower level. The lower level rooms have multiple queen beds. You can pack 10-12 people in the house including the couches. We did this before, in fact, on a large group trip in 2001, a trip organized by our local fly shop in Pittsburgh. The other residence is a cabin-like house with 2 bedrooms with 2 queen beds in each, and a common full bath. Each house has a kitchen with all the equipment and appliances you need to cook...just bring food. Make sure to bring enough alcohol, otherwise you will be driving back to Hardin, which is 45-50 minutes away. We were pleased by the fancy new propane grills at the house. There is a deck and patio dining set at the house, and a large front porch at the cabin with benches, chairs, and a grill. The cabin and house are separated by more than enough distance from one another be considered private (150 feet). There is virtually no interaction with guests staying in the other residence, aside from a shared driveway. The house has broadband DSL, whose wireless is within range of the cabin. I was impressed by the speed of the DSL, which was on the high end for typical DSL (speed tests of ~8 megabits/s). It was fast enough to stream an NFL game in HD without a hiccup. I was also able to run a remote desktop client without issue. Both residences were updated with a HDTV since we were here last, and the satellite dish package appears to be one of the top tier packages with all the sports and specialty channels. We were very happy to return to the Bighorn and stay at Angler's Edge. I would highly recommend this outfitter to any passionate fly fisherman or woman, also seeking really nice accommodations.

Where I grew up, stopping to take a leak doesn't necessarily go hand-in-hand with dying from exposure. Stabbing maybe... But not hypothermia. This is a really nice rest stop. Mind you, I was there in the summer, but I can totally see how this would be a more pleasant place to stretch your legs then some icy turn out with a huge snow drift in the dead of winter. Everything was well stocked, relatively clean, and unlike other rest stops I've seen in my travels across this great land, nary a creeper or tweaker to be seen. I had no reservations about the wife and kids heading in here, and there was plenty of room for our two dogs to do their thing as well. Montana, you're doing it right.

The space is well laid out, with a great cozy atmosphere that doesn't feel stuffy or old. It feels super modern, and we loved the kids area. They actually have a children's area librarian, and we heard her having a great conversation with a young reader about his favorite parts of a book so far, and suggesting what to read next based on what he has been enjoying. I loved seeing this, as encouraging kids to read and love it is a big deal to me! They have a dedicated story area for reading to the kids to avoid disrupting the library overall and we are excited to participate. I also though the expiration packs, and dealing with tough subject kits (Death, dementia ect) was a super cool addition to the kids area. No one wants kids to have to deal with these subjects, but I love that they are creating ways to approach tough conversations. As a grow up reader, the rest of the library was just as great. They have a fantastic little cafe with food and coffee that makes it easy to spend all day at the library, and plenty of great reads, and cozy spots. I look forward to more visits!!!

I have been disappointed by how the library has handled damaged books. 3 times they have called us…read moretelling us they were charging us for replacing damaged children's books (damaged that we had noticed, but not caused). I need to start documenting when books are torn or damaged when we check them out because at least half of the books we receive from the children's section of the library have pages missing or are torn/damaged. I wish the library would do a better job checking books that get turned in or put fines back in place for late books so they don't have to charge the average book reader for damages that they have not caused.
