Life on a Working Ranch in the American West

Life on a Working Ranch in the American West

Working Ranch picture
The life of the American cowboy has been documented in legends of the old West and glorified on the big screen by Hollywood producers.

Julie & Mark seek out real cowboys at working ranches, where guests from around the world come to live out their Western fantasies and proud families struggle to preserve their way of life.

They'll mount up and join the gang for a cattle drive, then explore the sacred land of the Crow Indians, who left pictographs on the sandstone cliffs.

On a high mountain plateau, Mark & Julie revel in the spectacle of majestic, wild mustangs as they romp in their natural setting.

TIPS for TRAVELERS to MONTANA & A WORKING RANCH

This is a terrific vacation for singles, families, or a group of friends. You will be a part of the family at the Lonesome Spur. (www.LonesomeSpur.com) You will also learn about the lifestyle, horses, cattle and the people that settled the American West.

*Note: A "Working Ranch" is just that - the family is managing herds and maintaining a ranch - you will be working with them. A "Dude Ranch" is more of a vacation - it may have a swimming pool, tennis courts and other resort amenities. You can play cowboy, but you will not have any real responsibilities.

Each ranch differs, so be sure to inquire.
