Spring 2022: April 24-May 7
Spring Discount
For the budget-minded, enjoy the springtime ranch experience and a discount off summer rates due to weather, shorter days and fewer off-ranch activities in the area prior to June 1. Yellowstone National Park is accessible and is beautiful in the springtime and you'll enjoy all the on-ranch activities during the April session.

Why a big Spring Discount off the Summer Price?
Spring sessions in April are a great time to experience the hands-on opportunities of a working horse and cattle ranch and it's cheaper too! $600 off. Wyoming weather may be warm and dry one day and snowy the next. On warm days we're out trail riding and playing with cows. On snowy days we work the horses in the covered round pen then hit the hot springs for a soak! There's always lots to do! Yellowstone can be entered through the north entrance, a longer drive but an amazing opportunity to see a variety of wildlife that is not as visible during the hot summer months.
Why come in May or June?
The late spring and summer tend toward nice, warm weather, perfect for trail riding, cattle work, and even an overnight stay at cow camp where you'll enjoy cooking and storytelling around the campfire before falling sleep in your teepee or out under a canopy of stars. If you stay more than a week, take the chance to access Yellowstone's Northeast Entrance and Lamar Valley by way of the beautiful Chief Joseph Highway.
Off-Ranch Activities (not included in pricing)
To round out your real working ranch adventure or gap year holiday, budget time and funds to thoroughly enjoy the off-ranch opportunities Wyoming has to offer! We recommend $250-$500 pocket money for off-ranch activities (especially if you are staying three weeks or more). We'll help you plan your visit to Yellowstone National Park (approx $150-$200 if a rental car, fuel, and room are shared among participants), soak in the hot springs in Thermopolis after a few days in the saddle, go white water rafting, float the local rivers, and take a trip to Cody for the famous Cody Nite Rodeo and dinner. A weekend trip to Yellowstone is included in the itinerary, but not in the price.
Airport Transfer Included on Start and End Days of your Session
Airport transfer, provided by local shuttle from Cody, WY to the ranch on Sunday and back to Cody at the end of your stay (Friday or Saturday, your choice), is included in the price. Transportation between Cody and the ranch for arrivals or departures on other days costs $35 per person/each way.
