1. hiking
2. fishing
3. immediate solitude (read: undeveloped) around property
4. still within 30-45 min drive to decent size town w/poker
5. least summer humidity possible (relative to all other places in state)
6. <1 hr drive to town with airport service by major carrier (Delta, Alaska, etc...)
Money is little to no object.
Thanks in advance
I like the Madison River area between Three Forks and West Yellowstone. It's very nice around the town of Ennis. Long drive to a poker game though.
I also like the Paradise Valley between Livingston and Gardiner. Closest poker game would be the Cats Paw in Bozeman. The game was going when I was there a month ago, 6 handed.
Along the Clark Fork River west of Missoula is nice too. The Silver Creek Casino in Missoula would be the closest poker game....if it's back up and running.
