Upper Canyon Outfitters
“As you leave Alder, Montana (population 116) in the rearview mirror and drive the Ruby River Road towards the ranch, you can see the three mountain ranges that create our valley and rise around the lands of Upper Canyon Outfitters. Somewhere back behind you is everything you hope to leave behind for a few days. In front of you is nothing but a warm welcome waiting to be shared and adventure waiting to begin.”
Upper Canyon Outfitters is a family-owned and operated ranch in Montana’s wild and beautiful Ruby Valley along the banks of the Ruby River. Surrounded by the ranges of the Snowcrest, Greenhorn, and Gravelly Mountains, their family has been exploring these lands since their grandfather homesteaded there in 1910. Since 1981, they've been proud to welcome guests to their ranch and share the lands they call home.
We were fortunate to spend a week at UCO. Gerick went to school with Cassie, daughter of Jake + Donna and coordinator of the Equine Facilitated Learning classes. We got to know the entire family + staff during our time and we can honestly say how truly wonderful this place is! We created several videos highlighting each of the many activities + accommodations they host at the ranch. ENGLE // OLSON also captured new content images for their social and website. We focused on the simple fact this is a family-owned + operated business, as well as the pure beauty surrounding you.

“Gerick and Jenny did an amazing job with my video. I asked them to come out to Montana to capture a program that I started with horses. It is a program that is very hard to put into words, but Gerick and Jenny were able to capture exactly what my program is in video form. They listened with interest while I explained my program and then they jumped right in when the time came to film. They dealt with snow, rain and sunshine, all without skipping a beat. I could not be happier with the outcome of my video and I would suggest these two for any video needs for people in the outdoor industry . Their equipment and work ethic are top notch and they are not afraid to get dirty. After the filming was done, Gerick did a great job with communication and requested edits. He is very open to the process of editing, but also provides enough structure that the whole project is not overwhelming. Thank you Engle/Olson for all our hard work and dedication. I could not be happier with the final product.”
