Spend
your days casting dry flies to the Missouri's trout and your evenings traveling
through time with master story-teller and award-winning historical interpreter,
Joyce Badgely-Hunsaker.
Experience first-hand the narrative story of Lewis & Clark's epic expedition; learn how it
changed the face of our nation and gave rise to an American cultural identity that
is still alive today!
For four days and five nights, experience the Montana that Lewis & Clark discovered while sampling a serving of the state's best fishing with some of the best guides. Guests will stay at the romantic and charming Rocking Z Guest Ranch, a true working ranch, owned and operated by Zach and Patty Wirth, their sons and daughters, and some hired help. The Rocking Z is one of a few working Montana ranches left.

Joyce Badgely-Hunsaker is an award-winning historical interpreter and storyteller. Her thoughtful and carefully researched programs have won her national acclaim as an actress and historian. For the past thirty years, she has presented her living histories from wilderness campfires to the halls of the U.S. Congress. She has performed with symphonies, in schools, universities, museums, on national television and radio, and with the NBA Portland Trailblazers. Most recently, she performed 'Sacagawea Speaks' by invitation at the 2002 Winter Olympics and the national kickoff of the Lewis & Clark Bicentennial Commemoration at Monticello in Virginia.
Her command performances include such distinguished audiences as ranking members of Congress, the Smithsonian Institution, the National Geographic Society, the Nature Conservancy, Disney, and Russian Educational Television. Ms. Hunsaker's living history dramas and her books are currently being used in Eastern Russia to teach American history and English.
Joyce Badgley Hunsaker's family bloodlines include Cherokee and Sioux, English, French, and Scots-Irish. Several tribes have honored her with ceremonial names. She is also a fourth-generation Oregon Trail pioneer descendant, and a fifth-generation California Trail pioneer descendant.
Her works about the American West - both performed and published - offer unique cultural insights into the people who made the history: from Sacagawea to the pioneers; from the Frontier of the past, to the West of today. For a sample, read her TIME magazine article about Sacagawea.
