Fodor's Review:

Not only does this dude ranch 13 mi west of Buffalo have a stunning location at the base of some of the tallest mountains in the range, but it's also one of the oldest (circa 1905) and most progressive, as evidenced by its adults-only month (September) and two ladies' weeks. The rest of the summer has extensive children's programs, with everything from overnight pack trips to a kids' rodeo, crafts, and pony rides as well as nature hikes. Adult programs involve sing-alongs, fancy barbecues with wine, gourmet meals, and square dances. The wranglers are very careful about matching riders to appropriate horses; multiday trips for veterans venture into the Bighorn National Forest and Cloud Peak Wilderness Area. Cabins are simple. Some have fireplaces; all have full baths and kitchenettes. There's a one-week minimum stay. Pros: Clean cabins with rustic, beautiful views, hospitable staff, good children's programs, ask about 30% June discounts. Cons: Minumum stays, 11.5 mi to Buffalo, cold mornings until late spring.
