September Cattle Drive

During the month of September, we will gather the high country of the Big Horns and start the entire cow herd on the trail back to the ranch headquarters in the foothills. 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 48 scenic miles. Again, cuisine and lodging is Dutch oven meals and wall tents with your gear following 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 trail. Remember, this range is 63,000 acres which makes this an enormous task. The brilliant yellow aspen trees against the dark green pines can make this trip the most fantastic of the year, and most guests who have done both trips, definitely prefer the fall. Yes, occasionally we get snow but, in all honesty, in the Big Horns I've been snowed on any month of the year.

Christmas in September!
