The Hideout Lodge & Guest Ranch, Shell, Wyoming, USA
The Hideout is a platinum-quality working cattle ranch just east of Yellowstone Park, complete with luxurious, private log homes and culinary-schooled chefs. With only 25 riders at a time, it's also one of the most intimate Western experiences you'll find, with unusual, fun activities like dinosaur digs, professional photography seminars, fishing, mountain biking and winter snowmobiling, not to mention access on horseback to the 300,000-acre Flintner Ranch.
You can help out on real cattle drives with old-school cowboys, immerse yourself in the techniques of Natural Horsemanship (communicating with your horse through feel, not force), or try the special horsemanship clinics, like Colt Starting and Trouble Shooting.
