Opened in 2005 -- 199 years after Meriwether Lewis climbed Sentinel Rock on the property -- this cattle ranch-turned-ultraposh-resort is situated along 7 miles of the Blackfoot River on 37,000 pristinely rugged acres. Lavish accommodations come in several varieties, ranging from smallish timber duplexes to guest homes, including the historic 1908 Morris Ranch House next to Elk Creek, which sleeps eight. With 300-thread-count linens, outdoor hot tubs, lifelike dog sculptures, and DVD libraries among the standard amenities, the common thread is luxury, which even extends into Paws Up's eco-resort "Tent City," where roughing it includes feather beds, electricity, and running water. It's certainly not cheap, but Paws Up's rate includes just about every imaginable recreational activity, and then some: hiking on the resort's 25 miles of trails; horseback riding; sport shooting; ATV rides; boating and watersports; and snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, and sleigh rides in winter. There are special packages for anglers, couples, and equestrians.
