T-Cross Ranch

T-Cross Ranch

The T Cross Ranch lies inside the Shoshone National Forest at an elevation of 7,800 feet, surrounded by an untouched country of pine forests and open meadows, trout-rich streams and small lakes, with endless vistas rising well over 11,000 feet. Through the T Cross gate you will discover a pristine wilderness. From atop well-trained horses, guests discover rugged mountain trails revealing a myriad of wildlife seen only in the greater Yellowstone area. Most guests, however, remember the T Cross for its familiar atmosphere that blends the color of the West and the relaxing comforts of home.

Unique Features: Set in the shadow of the majestic Boedeker Butte and along the banks of beautiful Horse Creek, the T-Cross Ranch was first homesteaded over 100 years ago and was operated as a traditional western dude ranch for most of its existence.
