Join us to learn about the ecosystems and working ranches in this remote and near-pristine high-elevation valley in Southwest Montana.

Nestled on the edge of the Continental Divide, the Centennial Valley's 60+ miles of unpaved roads traverse a vast array of forest, sagebrush steppe, grasslands and the largest wetland complex in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. The valley also contains the uppermost point of the Missouri/Mississippi watershed, 3,768 miles from the Gulf of Mexico.

This trip is for those who want a complete overview of the Centennial Valley's significant natural and cultural aspects. Participants will learn about and meet some of the people who live in and manage this area, including cattle ranchers, the Centennial Valley Association's Range Riders, and managers of non-profit organizations such as the Montana Nature Conservancy and the Red Rock Lakes National Wildlife Refuge.

Trip activities include field excursions, lectures with interactive discussions, and experiential outdoor learning.

Registration opens for both travel dates on Wednesday, May 18
