Ride Overview

Explore the area dubbed “the most scenic 50 miles in the U.S.” by Teddy Roosevelt during three or six-night stays at Blackwater Creek Ranch.

Set along the banks of the scenic Shoshone River and Blackwater Creek, the ranch is just 15 miles from the East Entrance of Yellowstone National Park. Since 1915, Blackwater Creek Ranch has hosted guests from around the world amid the mountains of the Shoshone National Forest, where Blackwater Creek flows into the Shoshone River. Theodore Roosevelt once described the area as “the most scenic 50 miles in the U.S.”

This Yellowstone Pop-Up Ranch will run from May 26 through September 28, 2024. Reservations must be 3 or 6 nights. 3-night stays will be Sunday to Wednesday, or Wednesday to Saturday. 6-night stays will be Sunday to Saturday.

Classic dude ranch adventures will include horseback riding and hiking in the Wyoming wilderness, archery and sport shooting, fly fishing the creek and river, as well as evening entertainment. AND a portion of the proceeds benefit the historic O.T.O. Dude Ranch, where we hosted our very first Pop-Up Ranch!

Some highlights to look forward to during the week will include:
– For six-night stays only, a tour of the Yellowstone National Park
– Rafting on the Yellowstone River with Wyoming River Trips (available for 6 night stays and 3 night Sunday-Wednesday stays)
– Attending Cody Nite Rodeo (available for 6 night stays and 3 nights Wednesday-Saturday stays)
– On Saturday there will be a final ride at the ranch, “Happy Trails Brunch Ride,” to bid our guests farewell.
