This week, the Peter Greenberg Worldwide Radio Show airs from western Montana. We’re at Triple Creek Ranch, just outside of Darby, about 20 miles from the Idaho border. Elk, horses, deer, moose, bald eagles, hawks, turkey, and ospreys make their home within Triple Creek Ranch’s 26,700 acres.

How’s this for rugged? It’s right around here that the Lewis and Clark expedition was finally successful in crossing the Bitterroot Mountains, part of the larger Rocky Mountain range. The pioneers battled frostbite, malnutrition, and dehydration while crossing this particularly unforgiving 200-mile stretch of mountain terrain during their 11 harrowing days on the Lolo Trail. But it’s now where you’ll find the ulra-luxe Triple Creek Ranch.

Joining me this week are USTA’s Roger Dow, talking about the current open skies controversy (and argument) between U.S. and Gulf airlines, Dan Cottrell, fireman and smoke jumper, who talks about the differences in fighting mountain and city fires, Kristen Snavely, head wrangler at Triple Creek Ranch, and Jack Gladstone, Blackfeet singer, lecturer, and writer (and Rose Bowl Champion), who tells (and sings) the folk story of a young orphan boy and his elders tracking a bear.

You’ll find all of this and more when Peter Greenberg Worldwide broadcasts from the Triple Creek Ranch.
