hi Brit!<BR><BR>Wyoming & Montana have so many dude ranches it's amazing! <BR><BR>Have you tied searching the internet? I know there are lots of listings. Also, the Jackson Hole Chamber of Commerce will be able to recommend the ones in that area.<BR><BR>My personal recommendation is for The Bitterroot Ranch just outside the town of Dubois, WY. About an hour 1/2 drive from Jackson. <BR><BR>It's not fancy, but definitely classy. Cabins on the Wind River with fireplaces, meals served family-style in the ranch house. Wine & hors d' ouvres on the porch in the late afternoon. Wonderful, ranch-bred Arabian stock, fly fishing in the river, riding instruction & a cross country jumping course. English or Western tack - your choice.<BR><BR>This is not a resort "dude" ranch. No tennis, square dancing, shopping, spa treatments. Just the most incredible scenery and good company. Many international guests & many expert horsemen/women. They only take 35 guests/week, but will divide riding groups up according to ability.<BR><BR>They own a company called Equitours that does riding vacations all around the world. As you can tell, I'm a fan. One of the best vacations, I've ever had!
