September Cattle Drive

During the month of September, we will gather the high country of the Big Horn Mountains and move the entire cow herd on the trail back to the ranch headquarters. As we are a real working ranch, the start date of this trip hinges on several factors and will vary from year to year. This 6 day / 6 night drive is just the reverse of our June and July trips and covers the same 45-55 scenic miles. Our cuisine is made from Dutch ovens and you will sleep in wall tents or teepee tents. Your gear will follow the herd by chuck wagon or pack mule.

Heading Home

The biggest difference between our fall and spring trips is that in September, we spend the first two days gathering the high Alpine meadows in preparation to head down the Little Horn Canyon. Remember, our mountain pasture covers 100,000 acres which makes gathering an enormous task. The brilliant yellow aspen trees against the dark green pines can make this trip the most fantastic of the year. Most guests who have done both trips definitely prefer the fall. Yes, occasionally we get snow, but in the Big Horns, we have been snowed on every month of the year.

Christmas in September!
