Live Your Montana Adventure

Circle 8 Outfitters is your guide to the Bob Marshall Wilderness

Welcome To Circle 8 Outfitters

We are professional outfitters and back country guides providing extraordinary hunting, fishing, and horse packing excursions into Montana’s famous Bob Marshall Wilderness. Join us for extraordinary western adventures in the rugged heart of Montana.  As legacy Bob Marshall Wilderness outfitters, we have an incredible history to share with you on your adventure trip with us, along the way you will have an exceptional, authentic Western experience.

In the early 1920’s we started out as a combination backcountry outfit and dude ranch.  We have operated as Circle 8 Ranch and A Lazy H Outfitters continously since then.  In 2025 we re-branded our backcountry outfit to Circle 8 Outfitters to align with our rich, deep historical roots.  Check out some of those details in the “About” tab.

Our consistent mission for over 100 years has been to provide consistent, exceptional experiences in some of the most beautiful and rugged country available in the US.  We look forward to having you join us on an authentic Western adventure you will treasure for years.
