Enjoy The Holiday of a Lifetime on a working cattle ranch in Wyoming.
Since the 1920's, Klondike Ranch has offered guests an authentic western adventure. Klondike is a working ranch located in one of North America's most historic and dramatic landscapes. Guests are invited to share in ranch life and learn the skills and language of the American cowboy. Our visitors are part of the family. They work with us, eat with us, and play with us. They help us move cattle to new pastures, fish some of the finest trout water in the nation and enjoy the stunning scenic vistas.
Accommodations
The picturesque ranch house and rustic log cabins are clean, modern, and comfortable. Meals are served family style at convenient times.
Take Part
You help with the 'saddling up' here on Klondike. There is even a real camp out! Today you can experience the thrill of the beauty that the first settlers found. The Klondike Ranch is a working ranch that invites you to share the beauty of their land and the thrill of a real Western ranch. It lies in the midst of the country and traditions which made the Old West a land of glamour and romance, and it is surrounded by scenic beauty which attracts the modern traveler.
Fishing
Klondike Ranch offers superb angling for wild rainbow and German brown trout along two miles of scenic Crazy Woman Creek. This lovely water is a true American Blue Ribbon class trout stream. Private ponds produce memorable 5 to 6 pound 'fighting' fish, with some to 27 and 28 inches long. Fishing trips and gear are included in full ranch vacations.
Activities on the ranch
Klondike Ranch runs 650 cow/calf pairs on 1800 scenic acres and summer pastures high in the Bighorn Mountains.
We are constantly riding on the herd, moving to new pasture and checking the condition of the animals. When we're not in the saddle, we're "doing chores": fencing, doctoring livestock, cutting and baling hay, and irrigating pasturelands. Guests are invited to assist with any of these activities. At Klondike anyone can learn to rope, herd cattle, and repair barbed wire fence.
Adventures on Horseback
Each guest has his or her own saddle horse, well mannered and ready to go any time. Many visitors like to explore the remote reaches of the ranch or ride into the mountains and camp overnight under the stars.
Rodeos
Rodeo is a popular local sport in Klondike country. Professional rodeos in Sheridan, Buffalo, and Kaycee offer exciting competitive action featuring stars on the national rodeo scene. Equally enjoyable and every bit as impressive are local rodeos. Ranch families participate in these events. Our guests greatly enjoy them.
Fishing
Klondike Ranch offers superb angling for wild rainbow and German brown trout in scenic Crazy Woman Creek. This lovely water is a true American "blue ribbon" trout stream. The creek and private ponds produce memorable fighting fish up to 23 inches. Klondike supplies fishing gear at no added charge.
Wildlife Viewing and Photography
Klondike Ranch is home to whitetail and mule deer, antelope, bald eagles, coyotes (and the occasional rattlesnake!). In the Bighorns you may see elk, moose, beaver, porcupine, and a tremendous variety of colorful birds. We recommend that guests bring video and still cameras with telephoto lenses.
Sky Watching
Klondike country boasts wonderful nighttime skies for guests who enjoy stargazing. Our skies offer a nightly celestial spectacle of stars, constellations, meteors and other objects, including the Milky Way, seldom visible in urban
settings.
