USA | Ranchlands has announced the opening of its latest retreat in northern Wyoming.
Ranchlands will formally open the 80,000-acre Paintrock Canyon Ranch in the Bighorn Mountains of northern Wyoming. At the ranch, guests will immerse themselves in ranch life, explore the surrounding areas on horseback, fly fish, hike, and experience the natural world in this unique landscape.
Accommodations are designed for guests to be as close to nature as possible, but with all the comforts of home. Large, safari-style tents are stylishly furnished with full-sized beds, bedside tables, dressers, and chairs.
Meals are prepared by a private chef and incorporate Ranchlands beef, local produce, and dairy whenever possible. Ranch Vacations are five-nights, and Pack Trips are seven-nights. Prices start at USD 3,950 per person, including all meals, lodging and activities. The season runs from May-September. Ranchlands has been offering stays on their ranches in Colorado, Zapata Ranch and Chico Basin Ranch, for the past 24 years and the Paintrock brings together the best of those operations.
"The goal is for guests at the Paintrock Canyon Ranch to 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," said Duke Phillips III, Founder of Ranchlands.
The Paintrock Canyon Ranch headquarters is located at the western base of the Bighorn Mountains. The ranch’s range extends toward Cloud Peak, the highest mountain in the Bighorns, and is characterised 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 a stark contrast to the Chico Basin and Zapata Ranches and is teeming with rich populations of elk, deer, turkey and bobcat," said Phillips III. "Paintrock Creek, the largest aquifer coming from the Bighorns, is home to some of the best trout fly fishing in northern Wyoming."
