During our first night's meal, at Rainbow Ranch, the setting was straight out of A River Runs Through It literally (the movie was filmed nearby). The elegantly rustic lodge had a roaring fireplace, pine beams and ceilings, and a big deck overlooking the scenic Gallatin River and the forested mountains beyond. Rocky Mountain elk, quail, mesquite-grilled bison and Montana beef vied for our attention.
