If you want a real western experience, look no further than Blackwater Creek Ranch where the trails lead thru the Shoshone National Forest to breathtaking views.  Just 15 miles east of Yellowstone National Park, the Ranch was permitted as a tourist camp in the early 1900s and is one of the oldest ranches on the North Fork of the Shoshone River.  Our week-long all-inclusive vacation is packed with adventures for the young and old.  We keep our numbers small to maintain that family feeling. There are no “frills” here just plain old-time family fun.

We offer guests a piece of the West with gentle horses for trail riding in the Shoshone National Forest.  Our week includes a trip to Old Trail Town, the Buffalo Bill Center of the West, the Buffalo Bill Dam, whitewater rafting, and concludes with Friday night at the Cody Nite Rodeo in Cody, WY. We spend a day in Yellowstone National Park visiting West Thumb, Old Faithful, the Grand Prismatic Spring, and the Yellowstone Falls. Convenient for our fishermen, we are located on the Shoshone River.    In the spirit of the west each night ends with a roaring campfire.
