  Strite and Kaitlyn Daniels have done an outstanding job stepping in as the new owners of Montana Wilderness Lodge & Outfitting. You can immediately tell they care deeply about the experience they provide — from the way the lodge is run to the quality of the hunts and overall hospitality. Located right in the heart of some of the best country Montana has to offer, with access to the incredible Bob Marshall Wilderness, this operation is perfectly positioned for anyone looking for a true backcountry experience. They bring a level of professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine passion for the outdoors that sets them apart. Whether you’re coming for a hunt, a lodge stay, or to explore the Bob Marshall, you’re in great hands with this team. Excited to see what the future holds — this is an operation to watch.

  Hunting Rocky Mountain Elk under the direction of Kaitlyn and Strite Daniels has everything to do with elk hunting and almost nothing to do with hunting. Don’t get me wrong, we harvested 2 magnificent bull elk. What this expedition was truly about was entering an intact, non-compromised wilderness-area. The Bob Marshall Wilderness Area is a big, wild, place. It is both exceptionally beautiful and sublime at the same time. Looking at the maps prior to our departure did not prepare me for how big and sprawling this place is. When you enter the grasslands and parklands found on the upper mountain slopes, dominated by fescue bunchgrasses and the other broadleaf forbs the valleys are fully unadorned, stretching to the horizon and beyond. On one afternoon in these parklands we watched 11 Golden Eagles in migration, using the updrafts along the upper ridges to move south. On two separate afternoons, we had encounters with a large male Grizzly Bear. This place is resplendent and Kodachrome-like. Kaitlyn and Strite Daniels are phenomenal leaders who will guide you on a World-class wilderness adventure. What makes these outing first class is Strite’s knowledge of this place. The Bob Marshall Wilderness Area requires years of experience to understand the best routes and trails. The Daniels’ Percheron / quarter-horse crosses are superior to any horses I have interacted with - true mountain horses. These horses are easy to ride, sure-footed, kind, and gentle. Strite’s first concern is always safety. Second, these people are absolutely honest, candid, straightforward, and easy to understand. Third, there are no hidden cost. You do not end up paying for housekeeping, petrol, sundries, or other hidden or secondary costs. The leadership, accommodations, meal preparations, horses and mules are near perfection. I have been associated with museums, NGO’s, colleges and universities, and have put expeditions and outings together into remote localities. The Bob Marshall is not a simple place to enter. You might struggle dearly if you tried to go into this wilderness by yourself on a hunting trip. Kaitlyn and Strite Daniels were incredibly helpful. I have nothing but good things to say. Gerald W.

  We did the 7 day Bob Marshall fly fishing trip with Montana Wilderness Lodge & Outfitting in the summer of 2024 after Strite and Kaitlyn bought the business in May 2024. It was a trip and adventure of a lifetime. A trip into the Bob Marshall requires a lot of planning and coordination, and the crew handled it seamlessly. The entire crew was professional, knowledgeable, experienced, and friendly. We loved the 2 day horseback ride into the where the rafts are launched and enjoyed camping along the River each night. The guides were great about putting us on the fish. If you are looking for a remote and unique fly fishing experience, we highly recommend Montana Wilderness Lodge and Outfitters. If you're lucky, Scout might join the trip.
