If you have ever wanted to experience the life of a cowboy if
only for a short period of time, then this historical Wyoming working cattle
ranch is the vacation choice for you. Klondike Ranch is so much more than your
typical dude ranch. Here, there is no head-to-tail horseback riding. Ninety
percent of the spring, summer and fall is spent horseback riding and working
cattle every day.
For those looking for a real adventure be sure to sign up for the overnight camp out at the ranch’s mountain cow camp. Spend 1-2 nights camping out either in one of their bunk wagons or in a tent under a brilliant, star-studded sky. Feast upon open fire cooked meals prepared by the “cow camp chef” while taking in the majestic beauty of the bighorn Mountains. Private outdoor bathroom facilities are provided to ensure your comfort.
If you would rather spend all your time at the ranch then there
are modern, rustic, comfortable cabins, each with their own private bathroom
some of which feature kitchenettes and living areas as well. Meals are served
family-style in true ranch fashion. You’ll dine on home-cooked, healthy, hearty
meals while enjoying good conversion with new friends seated at your table. If
you are out on an all-day trip a sack lunch will be provided.
While staying at the ranch you will have the opportunity to become a “ranch hand” if this interests you. This means helping out with the day to day “chores” like: fencing, doctoring livestock, cutting and baling hay, and irrigating pasturelands. Guests love to learn new skills and immerse themselves in the life of a true cowboy.
But that’s not all! Klondike Ranch also provides first-class
fishing opportunities, hiking, rodeos, photography excursions, exciting historical
tours and other experiences for you to choose from while on your Wyoming
vacation.

“I have had a dream of being a cowgirl and my week at Klondike Ranch made that a reality.
Patty, Richard, and
their family are a warm, welcoming group of people who not only make you feel
like part of the family but are there to share their knowledge of local
history, the workings of a cattle ranch, and their dining room table for
amazing home cooked meals.
The horse I was pared
with for the week, Stormy, was a great match as she was gentle and responded
well to my attempts at proper commands. Throughout the week, we had the
opportunity to ride around the ranch as well as in the mountains with the
cattle. I have not seen anything more beautiful than the views around Klondike
ranch and loved ever minute of my week there. The hardest part of my week was
leaving to come back to reality.”
