2. Triple Creek Ranch Vacation

Noted as one of the top 20 U.S. resort hotels, Triple Creek offers luxury amidst the splendor of the stunning Bitterroot Range in western Montana. This is an all-inclusive stay for two people for four days and three nights in one of Triple Creek’s luxury western cabins. Gourmet dining, horseback riding, hiking and golf all make this a fabulous destination – but it’s the fishing that offers something to brag about. The buyer of this package will also enjoy two days of guided fly-fishing along the Bitterroot River. If schedules accommodate, the trip’s real treat will be your guide on one of those fly-fishing trips – NFF board member and Intel Chairman Craig Barrett.
