In 1990, and again in 1994, a number of Crow Indians held a ceremonial Big Timber Canyon Forest on this property. They cut a Cottonwood tree along Big Timber Creek (pictured to the right) and carried it to the plateau (pictured below).

Montana Sonny Todd Team Editorial “The Best Last Place” We believe Montana is the “Best Last Place”. Montana plays in our minds that mytho- logical West that all Americans love. It is the home of legends, but with real places and real people. It was a horn of plenty for the Native Americans, with prairies full of fat buffalo and clear mountain streams overflowing with trout and beaver. Montana evolved from the wilder- ness through the efforts of mountain men, gold miners, sturdy pioneers, as well as through a bloody struggle between competing cultures. Law and order came to the Montana Territory by the gun and hanging tree. It was Vigilante verses Outlaw, and often it was a fine line that sepa- rated the two. Montana is the West, home of the Cowboy and Cowponies, and endless hori- zons. Montana is the land of snow-capped mountains, pristine wilderness areas, sparkling riv- ers and streams, and golden wheat fields all under 'The Big Sky.' Welcome to "The Best Last Place". Views of Crazy Peak SUMMARY & CONCLUSION: Pristine mountain beauty is synonymous with the west and especially Montana. Places like the Flathead, Paradise Valley, Big Sky, and Jackson Hole can conjure up “Sound of Music” images. In a more private and intimate way, Big Timber Canyon, in the heart of the Crazy Mountains, is that kind of a special place. The awe-inspiring beauty of the majestic Crazy Mountains continues to inspire people today in the same way it inspired Native Americans long ago. The Crazy Mountains and Big Timber Canyon have been featured in national magazines, post cards, and several movies. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to own one of the west’s most prestigious alpine properties and discover for yourself why we call it “Big Timber Canyon Forest”.
