FULL DESCRIPTION OF LISTING
If you've been hankerin'for a touch of the Old West, you will find it at Cottonwood. Outdoor and horse lovers come to the ranch to share in the friendly western atmosphere and enjoy the clean air of the high desert and the beauty of the magnificent mountains of the Jarbidge Wilderness. At Cottonwood you'll be 'riding the range' with the cowboys as they move cattle to fresh grasslands. You'll experience the camaraderie between you and your horse as you spend as many hours in the saddle as you want riding into a true cattle ranch experience.

You'll spend four exciting days on the trail and end the day around the campfire. Take a pack trip into the Jarbidge Mountains where you spend your days exploring this remote dramatic mountain range. Hidden mountain lakes, meadows of wild flowers, and old prospector's cabins are a delightful bonus. In September when the aspen turn gold listening to the elk bugle back and forth is a spine tingling experience. Evenings are spent in wilderness camps where delicious meals are served around the campfire.Some trips take you high over the mountains into the historic old mining town of Jarbidge. For a unique fishing trip, take a horseback trip into the Wilderness to fish the East Fork of the Jarbidge River. It's a beautiful remote mountain stream teeming with trout and only accessible on horseback or on foot. Join us at Cottonwood. We love to share this little known but beautiful part of Nevada where you will experience a wonderful western adventure you will always remember.
