Tucked in the heart of the Big Horn Mountains in north-central Wyoming near
the historic town of Buffalo, Paradise Ranch offers guest a unique western
experience. Among the special saving offered by Paradise Ranch is a seven day
all-inclusive western experience for half the regular price in June with all
activities, meals and lodging are included. Of course this is just one of the
great packages available at the Paradise Ranch.
Each season the Paradise Ranch offers guests a unique western experience at
the 102-year-old guest ranch in northern Wyoming. The authentic western
experience complete with horses, cattle, and chuck wagons. “If you want to be
a cowboy for a week, you might as well do it in style,” says Clay Miller.
The horseback riding program at Paradise Ranch is extensive. Each guest is
custom-fitted with a horse that perfectly matches his or her riding ability.
The riding program is very flexible, with a number of choices ranging from
two-hour rides, as well as both half-day and full-day rides. Some day rides
include lunches packed on mules and cooked along the trail. Rides take place
through wildflower-strewn mountain meadows in the surrounding Bighorn National
Forest.
Early in the morning, wake to the sound of thundering hooves and steaming
nostrils when professional wranglers bring the horses in from the high
meadows. Never-ever riders can learn how to handle a horse. Novice riders can
practice better horsemanship skills. Experienced riders can compete in team
penning exercises where three riders cut a “dogie” from a small herd of cattle
while the clock ticks. A barrel racing clinic is another option.
All-Day Entertainment for the Kids
Games, crafts, nature hikes, pony rides and an overnight camp out are
scheduled each day for the younger kids, and children 6 years and up can
participate in the regular horse programs which include trail riding with the
Ranch wranglers. The Teen program has a Social (movie and ice cream for 13
years and older) and an overnight pack trip. There are field trips off the
Ranch, and on Chicken Day, there is a chicken chasing competition before the
morning rides. City kids get a chance to breathe clean mountain air and to run
and play in wide open spaces as well as learn about Native American history
and the customs of ranch life.
Wrap it all together and you’re entire family will embrace the West on your
visit to the Paradise Ranch!
