Connect to the heritage of America in the prairies of northeastern Montana, the very land that Lewis and Clark and homesteaders once traveled. At Kestrel Camp, however, you’ll have it much better than the early pioneers, slumbering in one of the five spacious safari-like yurts with en-suite baths. Even with the northern lights overhead, it’s the bison, prairie dogs, and pronghorn that are the true stars of the show. The American Prairie Reserve assembles Kestrel every summer to finance efforts to preserve the critically affected flora and fauna. APR also runs the primitive tent sites of Buffalo Camp (pictured) for those looking to experience the prairie for just a few dollars a night; Kestrel, on the other end of the spectrum, is north of $1,000 per person per night. Both are an hour’s drive from the town of Malta.
