Badger Creek Cattle and Guest Ranch offers the western adventure vacation of a lifetime! Enjoy horseback riding through beautiful landscape just for fun, or ride out with the cowboy crew to check fence, doctor and sort cattle. Join them for a cattle drive as they move the herd through summer grazing. There is spectacular fly fishing nearby, as well as hiking and mountain biking if you choose. If you’d rather just relax, you can’t beat the view from the front porch.
Unique Features: Experience a great sense of satisfaction as your relationship with your horse grows! Learn to build your horse’s confidence, ask with softness, and “follow a feel” as you practice the “dance” of leadership with your horse. Everything you practice on the ground translates to work in the saddle, there’s nothing like a great partner out on the trail!
Accommodations: After your day in the saddle you’ll sleep peacefully in our bunkhouse. The facilities are tastefully decorated and always clean. The bunkhouse has two bedrooms which each have a queen size bed, double bed, and private bath, and one bedroom with a queen size bed and shared bath. There’s also a Cowboy platform wall tent which has a double bed and access to the shared bath. With a maximum of 8 guests you can feel right at home as you relax into the ranch.
As Suite As It Gets: When money is no object, go for the Wall Tent. This is the type of accommodations that the cowboys and miners originally lived in. The weather at 9,000 feet in the alpine desert can be unpredictable. Sunshine is the rule but afternoon showers are not uncommon. In the spring and summer you can expect it to get warm, even hot, during the day and quite cool at night. In short, think layers!
Dining: Delicious meals are prepared three times a day. A hot ranch style breakfast will keep you energized for the trails ahead. Refreshments will be provided for the day’s ride. Breakfast and dinner are served in the main house. Lunch is either served in the main house or packed and served out of a saddlebag on the open range. Make sure you leave room for dessert.
