Silver Tip was purchased in the early 1920 s by a New York banker and has served as a private and exclusive retreat for invited guests only for nearly 90 years. Spend days fishing Slough Creek with the region s best guides or ride the trails with experienced wranglers or explore hiking trails in this spectacular setting. After a day of invigorating activity, or reading and relaxation at the lodge, you will be treated to a hearty home cooked dinner, lively conversation and presentations by Yellowstone National Park experts. You will reach this classic western lodge by horse-drawn wagon, or by hiking through eleven miles of a remote and pristine area of Yellowstone National Park. You ll arrive at the ranch and stay in an elegant rustic room, enjoy a well-appointed great room with imposing stone fireplace, and a large sitting area and library. Hearty breakfasts and sumptuous dinners are served family style in the dining room. Lunch is served on the screened in porch, or provided as part of a picnic if a guest has chosen a day-long ride or fishing expedition.
