History
We are one of Montana's oldest outfitting families. We've been serving guests for 76 years and take great pride in our family's legacy. In 1924, when Bud Cheff Sr. was nine years old, he was invited to go on his first pack trip into what is now the Mission Mountains Wilderness and Bob Marshall Wilderness with Eneas Conko's family and several other Salish Indian families. From that first trip, Bud learned to love and respect the mountain wilderness and what it could inspire in those who traveled through it. Bud and his wife Adelle became wilderness outfitters and started the Cheff Guest Ranch in 1933. Cheff Sr. passed on his love of outfitting and wilderness pack trips to his son Mick and daughter-in-law Karen who now own and run the Guest Ranch with their family. Their business has grown and given several generations of guests many memorable and exciting experiences in the Montana wilderness.
