Yellowstone Ranch Escape

Jour 1: Cody

ITALY / CODY / PAHASKA TEPEE (-/-/D)
Explore the region that Theodore Roosevelt described as “the most scenic 50 miles in the United States,” during an unforgettable stay in an authentic rustic guest ranch. Located along the banks of the scenic Shoshone River and Blackwater Creek, the ranch is nestled among the mountains of the Shoshone National Forest, just 15 miles east of Yellowstone National Park. The all-inclusive stay includes all meals, ranch activities and amenities, off-ranch excursions, special events, and evening entertainment.
Classic dude ranch experiences await: horseback riding in the Wyoming wilderness, archery and hiking, along with special events and evening entertainment.
