A Wyoming Dude Ranch Vacation

Highlights

Located in the heart of Wyoming, Bucking S Ranch is an authentic working cattle ranch.

The Bucking S Ranch is located in the heart of Wyoming - "The Cowboy State" - situated along the Seminoe-Alcova Scenic Backway at an altitude of 6,000 to over 8,000 feet and are surrounded by the foothills of the Seminoe and Shirley Mountains. The next town, Alcova, is over 30 miles away and we are in the middle of open range cattle country - out here cattle have right of way even on the road and they make use of it.

The main activity is horseback riding including cattle drives as well as scenic rides. You can go on endless rides and all you will encounter are cattle pastures, mountains with beautiful natural rock formations, creeks, lakes, abundant wildlife and rugged beauty all around.

The area also invites you to all kinds of outdoor activities like a wide variety of water sports including swimming, boating, water floating, water skiing and especially fishing. On your own time you have endless opportunities for hiking and rock climbing or you can practice your trap shooting. Wildlife abounds and the vistas provide photographic rewards.

Bucking S Ranch is an authentic working cattle ranch. We run our ranch in common with the neighbor's place and together we take care of about 500 pairs (1,000 head) on a total of 40,000 acres. Mid May the cows with their calves are shipped back to the ranch after they wintered on a farm in a milder climate. We brand and vaccinate the animals before we drive them to their spring pasture. The whole season from mid-May to mid-October we rotate the cattle approx. every two weeks to a new pasture as grazing conditions and water dictates.

You will stay in comfortable and cozy log cabins or in the main lodge. All rooms have private bath and are individually furnished with western decor, a stove and sitting area. You can choose from either a king size bed, two twin beds or two full size bunk beds. From your private front porch you will enjoy incredible and undisturbed views in all directions.

During your stay you will be treated to wholesome home cooked ranch style meals served family or buffet style. At over 6,000 feet elevation the fresh air and outdoor activities provide a terrific appetite booster - so we serve em' up in cowboy sized portions including a full ranch breakfast, lunch or sack lunch if we go on all day rides and at night we often have cookouts or barbeques. The menus are deliciously varied and fresh, including homemade breads and desserts. The coffee and tea pot are always on, the cookie jar full and fresh fruits, lemonade and ice tea are available at all times.
