In the late 1800's, young men eager for a days pay would join on as wranglers to drive cattle herds. They lived on the trail, sleeping and eating with the cattle, hence the name "cowboys". The cattle drives were unique in history because they represented an unsettled west that would soon be filled with homesteaders, barbed wire and towns. The great cattle drives of old are truly a treasured memory of the past. Whether your learning to swing a rope or riding our surefooted well-trained horses, you'll catch a glimpse of authentic western history.
Step back in time and experience an adventure as each fall we gather our herd of cattle off the mountain pastures and drive them to the shipping corrals.
The two day round up includes exceptionally beautiful horseback riding through mountain meadows and rugged pine forests. You can ride for hours without seeing another human being. We gather and drive the days herd to the ranch for late branding, vaccinating and sorting.
The two-day drive is about 10 miles each day, but you may have ridden twice that far bringing in the wanderers and strays from the flanks. Riders are welcome to explore the surrounding countryside during the drive.
On Saturday morning livestock trucks ship the cows. Our guests are welcome to watch and participate in the loading.
Guests can expect a variety of weather, from warm Arizona sunshine to glorious fall days with glowing aspens, to cloudy skies and brisk breezes.
We purposely limit the number of guests to provide you with an individualized, personalized adventure. You won't be lost in another crowd.
A 50% deposit is required. Cannot accept credit cards, but personal check are okay. We will refund your deposit up until 90 days before your scheduled horse drive. After that we will refund your deposit if we can rebook your spot. Fifty dollars of your deposit is non-refundable.
