A dramatic field of wildflowers greets visitors to The Nature Conservancy's Flat Ranch Preserve, near Macks Inn.Flat Ranch makes a perfect stop if you're heading to Yellowstone National Park this summer: The preserve is just 15 miles west of West Yellowstone. It is right off Highway 20 and is well marked.
In addition to stunning wildflower displays, you will likely see pronghorns, sandhill cranes, ospreys and other wildlife.
The preserve is free to visit. A visitor center has informational displays and a spotting scope on the front porch to assist in wildlife viewing.
Every Wednesday, and most Saturdays, Flat Ranch offers a free lecture series throughout the summer. Learn to identify the wildflowers, gaze at stars, see live raptors and more.
You may also hike and fish (catch and release only) on the preserve.
This summer, include the Flat Ranch in your Yellowstone or East Idaho trip plans. Stop by and enjoy the preserve!
