About Alder

Set in southwestern Montana’s scenic Ruby River Valley, Alder is a quiet, close-knit community home to fewer than a hundred people. Born out of the historic gold rush along Alder Gulch, the town today offers peaceful rural living with wide-open mountain views and fantastic trout fishing along the Ruby River and nearby reservoir. Everyday life is unhurried and simple, with neighboring towns like Sheridan and historic Virginia City just a short drive away for schools, dining, and daily essentials. If you are looking for true small-town seclusion, Alder offers a tranquil place to put down roots.
