WYOMING: Immerse Yourself in Cowboy Country at a Wyoming Dude Ranch

Wyoming is truly cowboy country, and there is no better way to experience that first-hand than by booking a stay at a dude ranch.

 
Wyoming is proud to celebrate the 120th anniversary of the country’s first and oldest dude ranch, Eaton's Ranch, which still welcomes guests today. Located in Wolf, Wyoming, Eaton’s Horse Ranch coined the term "dude ranch" in 1904 and still offers a more traditional Western experience.

 
However, Eaton’s is not the only ranch you can find in Wyoming. We have dude ranches for every type of adventure, from kid-friendly ranches great for the whole family to a little R&R time for adults. Wyoming dude ranch vacations offer an opportunity to live out the Western way of life, even for just a short time.

 
Many of these accommodations welcome guests year-round and offer guided horseback riding trips, adults-only getaways and fall hunting excursions. With so many options, it is hard to find a reason not to stay at one of Wyoming’s amazing dude ranches.
