In addition to its unique daytime landscape, Craters of the Moon is a certified International Dark Sky Park. The lack of light pollution provides superior stargazing opportunities, allowing for an unforgettable view of the night sky. Staying at Silver Peak Ranch offers the perfect end to a day of exploration, as you can return to the solitude and peace of our location and enjoy the same brilliant night skies.
The perfect backdrop for "I do."
With 4 residential buildings and a commercial kitchen, the ranch provides accommodations for large groups up to 30 people, perfect for small weddings or elopements, retreats, and events.
World-Class Fly Fishing on the Silver Creek Preserve
Cast a line to monster brown trout in Hemingway's fabled Silver Creek! The renowned Silver Creek Preserve, a world-class trout stream fishery, is just a short trip from our ranch. This spring-fed ecosystem is globally unique, boasting one of the highest densities of stream insects in all of North America. This abundant aquatic life creates a perfect environment for the preserve’s trophy-sized trout.
While the fishery is productive year-round, its legendary status is cemented by the Brown Drake hatch, which typically occurs in late May and early June. We can arrange guided trips with our expert local outfitters to help anglers of all skill levels navigate these waters, providing the local knowledge and equipment needed for a memorable day.
The Private Advantage: Guided Elk Hunting
At Silver Peak Ranch, we redefine the Idaho elk hunting experience by offering a private and exclusive adventure, providing a hunt that is both challenging and rewarding. The typical hunt seasons are in September for archery and October for rifle hunters. We promise a dedicated, expert-guided experience to help you pursue a trophy bull, ensuring your hunt is a truly memorable one.
The ranch offers limited spots each year, ensuring a personalized and high-quality experience for both archery and rifle hunters.
Premium Idaho Upland Bird Hunting Experience
Idaho is a renowned, yet often overlooked, destination for upland bird hunting. Silver Peak Ranch offers a guided experience that capitalizes on this excellent opportunity, providing access to a variety of both wild and planted (stocked) species and terrain.
Our guides and their trained dogs are experts at navigating the terrain to locate birds. The experience offers a true western hunt, where a well-trained dog is essential for flushing birds from dense cover or retrieving a downed bird that tumbles down a steep slope. We provide the expertise and local knowledge to make your hunt as successful and enjoyable as possible, whether you are chasing fast-flying chukar or stalking the elusive pheasant.
Hiking & Stargazing at Craters of the Moon National Monument
Located a short drive from our ranch, Craters of the Moon National Monument and Preserve is an otherworldly landscape that must be experienced to be believed. This unique geological wonderland, formed by basaltic lava flows and fissures, is a must-see for visitors to the region. Our ranch serves as the perfect lodging basecamp for this incredible expedition, offering a peaceful retreat after a day of exploring.
The monument features a seven-mile scenic loop road that provides easy access to all the main trailheads. Additionally, experience world-renowned stargazing opportunities: due to the lack of light pollution, the monument is home to some of the best views of the night sky in the whole country.
