This Wyoming Ranch Immerses You in Nature

Take family travels to Ranchlands’ Paintrock Canyon Ranch in the Bighorn Mountains of Northern Wyoming. Immerse yourself in the ranch life with horseback riding, fly fishing, and exploring the unique nature and landscapes.

Paintrock Canyon Ranch’s accommodations are designed for guests to be as close to nature as possible, while still offering the comforts of home.

“The goal is for guests at the Paintrock Canyon Ranch to leave with a deep understanding of the rich history of the area and the important role that ranching plays in restoring our natural resources, while exploring nooks and crannies that only a few people have ever seen,” said Duke Phillips III, founder, Ranchlands.

The ranch is located at the western base of the Bighorn Mountains. The range extends toward Cloud Peak, the highest mountain in the Bighorns. It is also surrounded by creeks, springs, meadows and canyon walls. The terrain changes from deep orange and burgundy sandstone hills to monolithic rock formations to high mountain meadows, pine forests and lakes.

Vacations include five nights on the ranch and four days of riding through various ecosystems. Activities include taking a long canter to the top of Lumen Canyon or Courthouse Rock, spending the afternoon learning about the 2,000-year-old Native American petroglyphs at the Medicine Lodge Archeological Site or fly fishing at one of many fishing holes.
