<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s called Big Sky Country for a reason. No shortage of awe inspiring vistas in Montana, from half-mile wide meandering rivers to jaw dropping glacial lakes and towering peaks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With summer right around the corner, Camp Nice<\/a> got the camping season started right with a Rangers Only (and a few special guests) edition at Highland Ranch<\/a> to test out their newly installed Jupe<\/a> tents. The Nectar<\/a> memory foam beds and solar powered shelters made for an ultra cozy home away from home as we spent the week doing all things Montana like floating the Flathead River, exploring Glacier National Park<\/a> with the help of Good Time Supply Company<\/a>, gettin’ wild in Whitefish at The Great Northern Bar<\/a> and of course the Camp Nice regulars like bocce ball, archery, arts and crafts, hammocking, space exploring and cookin’ up a storm day and night. Another highlight was the Qigong class by Glacier Sound Healing Center<\/a> which got us tuned up and balanced before we departed back home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Highland Ranch was the perfect outpost with easy river access, horses, barns, gorgeous early sunrises, late sunsets, Strawberry Moon rises and even some Northern Light sightings! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Much love to our brand partners Grillo’s Pickles<\/a>, Queen Majesty Hot Sauce<\/a> + Cocojune Organic<\/a> for keeping our bellies full and hearts nourished!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to everyone who came out and for those who couldn’t make it we’ll see you in New York soon enough!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
