Dude Ranch Summer Activities

Horseback Riding Program:

The ranch runs about 150 head of horses and mules. With that many animals, there is a temperament to match the skills of any rider. A horse is assigned to you for the week. Beginner instruction is offered each day for an additional charge in the new arena and children 6 and older may ride their own horse. Miles of scenic trails, with guests guided by Western wranglers, wind through majestic mountains, surrounded by timber. We have family rides and adult rides, as well as rides grouped according to your ability. There are sunset rides on Wapiti Ridge, or Lava Mountain, where you see the Wyoming world in 360 degrees. There is a ranch rodeo and Gymkhana for all, with an awards ceremony. You can see an abundance of wildlife during your rides and along the river and in the mountain meadows. The ranch recommends riding boots, however, a smooth soled shoe with heels, will be fine.

Cowboy Up!

For an additional $500, a program geared for the more advanced rider is avilable. We trailer you and your horse to off ranch trails and may include an overnight excursion to our backcountry camp.

Dude Program:

There is complete program for children of all ages, throughout the period of mid June to mid August, which is supervised by counselors. Activities include crafts, nature hikes, fishing, pony-rides and an overnight in the Tipi Village. Programs are available during scheduled AM and PM rides. On other times , there is additional baby-sitting upon request, at a cost of $10 / hour, per child. Children are cared for between 9am - 11 am and 2pm - 4pm daily and also during some scheduled evening program.

Take a bit of the Ranch home with you... Brand your boots at the cookout.   Become a pro horse shoer... or learn how to shoe horses.
