guest ranches
Tourist cattle farms
Guest ranches are working or recreational ranches that accommodate paying visitors, offering an experience of rural Western life.
Also called dude ranches, they typically provide horseback riding, cattle work, and outdoor activities alongside room and board.
We spent a week at a guest ranch in Montana learning to rope cattle.
The experience ranges from rustic authenticity to luxury resort amenities, depending on the operation.
