The 10 best Ranches in Wyoming, United States

April 19, 2023 Augustus Redeker

Wyoming boasts a positively selfish hoard of natural outdoor beauty! From the soaring peaks of the Grand Tetons to Jackson Hole valley and Yellowstone National Park, the mountain landscape and natural wonders of Wyoming are breathtaking. All-season outdoor activities prove a natural draw for families, couples and group getaways. Sports lovers golf through spring and summer at attractive rates or tackle river and lake fishing, hunting and hiking. Families take to Alpine skiing and snowmobiling in Jackson Hole, Snow King, Grand Targhee and Pine Creek. Every visitor is awed by the deep canyons and steaming geysers of The Yellowstone National Park. Each magnificent sight rivals the next. The Grand Tetons rise over a mile above Jackson Hole valley, where a ride on the Aerial Tram from Teton Village offers unforgettable views. Across the entire state, wildlife stakes its rightful claim, from bison and bighorn sheep herds to black bear and mountain elk. For a step back in frontier history, take the family to Go Native America to experience Native American culture, history and arts of the Plains Tribes. Enjoy tours with indigenous guides, horseback riding and roping lessons. With every experience, your family will gain a sense of the pioneer spirit that pushed America westward.

Ranch at Ucross

An All American Ranch

Reviewed By Skynyrdnation

Great scenery, very hospitable. This was Day 4 or our tour and it was a relaxing spot. The bar was excellent and Charlie knew how to pour them. The room in the main building was like living in your grandmother's house and it was musty until you turned the a/c and fan on for awhile. I would have preferred to stay in the new lodging by the pool. Horseback riding and fly fishing were offered. Had a great dinner and breakfast buffet style.

We have the best of Wyoming ranch activities including horse back riding, fly-fishing and scenic float trips in the summer, hunting in the fall, and snowmobiling in the winter. We are located 30 miles NE of Jackson, 5 miles from Grand Teton National Park, 36 miles away from Yellowstone National Park and have breathtaking views all around.

Join us for a vacation that has something to suit everyone in your party - a little relaxing, a little exciting, and completely unforgettable.

Worth the experience.

The property did not meet my expectations because *I* did not properly research and prepare myself. I based my expectations on the cost of the room and the cost of the activities. The trail ride was so expensive, I just sent my wife and horse-loving daughter. (2 out of 5 people in the family were able to participate in the ride.) On the positive side - Breakfast in the café was beyond FANTASTIC!!! The horses were a sight to see, and the evening movement of the herd from the lower pasture to the upper pasture was amazing. The local farrier was there working on some horse hooves and horse shoes. We did not want to interrupt their work, but they were very friendly and answered a lot of (most likely SILLY) questions. I'm a little conflicted in this review. Cost was extremely high for the "products" we received, however this was an invaluable experience for my family and teenage children. I would not go back again, but I truly value the experience that we obtained. My sincere thanks to the owners and staff of Heart Six Guest Ranch.

Step into Wyoming history and western hospitality.

This ranch is an authentic piece of western history. The food is amazing, the rooms comfortable and the service is off the charts. We had a business retreat there. The meeting facilities were perfect. Our families had a marvelous time at one of the unspoiled beautiful locations in the old west.

Crooked Creek Guest Ranch

Snowmobiling trip with kids, friends and family.

Reviewed By ambersS5121TU

We took a large group, filled 3 cabins and stayed 3 nights. The staff and food was great and the cabins had enough room for everyone. It's been 9 years since I was here last and everything is just as I remembered it. Easy access to the trails and lodge for meals. The kids had a blast. The only thing I wish I could change is that we weren't able to rent sleds on site this time.

7D Ranch

Can’t Wait To Go Back

Reviewed By Nikki6ny

I just returned from my third visit to the 7D ranch and it just keeps getting better. I traveled with 5 friends and we stayed in 2 of the warm, rustic cabins. The ranch is in a wonderful spot called the Sunlight Basin, where you have views of the mountains during the day, and skies full of stars at night. We took advantage of the amazing horseback riding each day, but the ranch also offers trap shooting, hiking and fly fishing if horses aren’t your thing. The riding trails are diverse and plentiful and the wranglers are top notch. We had the pleasure of having Leo as our wrangler and he (and his dog, Lizzie) took us on several rides that varied from relatively flat to high in the mountains. The kitchen staff is also amazing. The meals are served family style and they can accommodate any dietary restrictions you may have. Special shout out to Emma, who baked some incredible desserts, including a creme brulee cookie that deserves an award! In a nutshell, the Dominicks run a wonderful gem of a ranch. By the end of the week you feel like you are not just a guest, but part of the family. It’s a special place indeed….

Exceptional Family Vacation!

Reviewed By 366lorrier

This was one of the best family vacations we've had! Kenny and Laura and all of the staff welcomed us as family as soon as we stepped foot on the property. Riding horses, hiking, fishing, archery, ax throwing, trip to Yellowstone - these were all amazing experiences. We loved our horses and could not get enough of the breathtaking scenery during our trail rides! Our favorite part of each day was sitting down to homecooked meals and sharing our stories with the other guests and the staff. Because the ranch is tucked high up in the mountains there is absolutely no wifi, which was a beautiful gift for our family. Our 15 year old forgot all about her phone and ran out of the cabin each morning ready to ride the trails! Our cabin was comfortable and cozy and all the staff are welcoming, friendly, and very knowledgeable. Thank you Kenny and Laura - you go above and beyond to make Crossed Sabres Ranch an exceptional experience!

We were traveling from Chicago to Bozeman MT to deliver our daughter to college and we decided to stop in Jackson to see The Grand Tetons. We. spent one wonderful night at Moose Creek Ranch We had our dog traveling with us and stayed in dog friendly Willow 1 cabin… it was delightful, very clean and nicely decorated. The property is rustic ranch with a retro feel , wonderful quiet tucked away in a valley. The main lodge with a broad front porch and a roaring fire inside , a pool table, s’mores and bartender was a perfect end to a busy day. The weather was rainy but we curled up by the lodge fire and watched the mist settle over the mountains. We can’t wait to return for a longer stay!
