Bitterroot Ranch summary
The Bitterroot Ranch is a remote 1,300 acre working ranch surrounded by the Shoshone National Forest and a 52,000 acre wildlife refuge. The terrain is extremely varied; sagebrush plains, grassy meadows and rocky gorges give way to forested mountains and alpine clearings. Your hosts place a strong emphasis on their riding program and provide several horses for each guest, splitting the rides into small groups according to ability.
The broad range of riding activities includes lessons with certified instructors to intermediate level, a cross country course for experienced riders, team sorting, herding cows on grazing allotments in the national forest, cattle drives, roundups, pack trips and trail rides. Excellent fly fishing on a private stream and superior cuisine and wine contribute to a more sophisticated ambience than that at many dude ranches. Salads come fresh from the garden, ranch raised beef and lamb is served, and bread is baked fresh in the ranch kitchen.
As well as the opportunity to participate in one to two day pack trips whilst staying at Bitterroot, the ranch also offers an exciting Washakie Wilderness Pack Trip which takes place on one set departure each year.
