Paintrock Guest Ranch
Wyoming USA: (GRWY04)
URL: https://www.hiddentrails.com/tour/wy_paintrock_ranch.aspx
Introduction
Wyoming
USA
The Ranch is located at the western base of the Bighorn Mountains. The ranch’s property extends toward Cloud Peak, the highest mountain in the Bighorns, and is characterized by creeks, springs, meadows, and canyon walls reaching thousands of feet above. The terrain changes from deep orange and burgundy sandstone hills to monolithic rock formations to high mountain meadows, pine forests and lakes. It is teeming with rich populations of elk, deer, turkey and bobcat. Paintrock Creek, the largest aquifer coming from the Bighorns, is home to some of the best trout fly fishing in northern Wyoming.
This Ranch vacation is the opportunity to immerse yourself in the ranch and explore the surrounding areas on horseback. Our stays are designed to intimately explore and experience the natural world and this unique landscape. Our goal is to put you as close as we can to the heartbeat of the Paintrock Creek and Canyon, as well as the red wall of hills that Native Americans lived and thrived in. You will 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.
