Cameras are encouraged, this can be a great time for wildlife pictures. The afternoon can be spent fishing, floating on the pond, or hiking some of the beautiful canyons. The evening will bring a barbecue cook-out followed by evening campfire and s’mores.

Today is the big cattle drive! We’ll gather and saddle our horses early and move the steers to a new pasture. Lunch is packed and eaten on location. After the move, an afternoon nap is usually required before the evening socializing begins. Depending on how you’re feeling after a day in the saddle, we may take a sunset ride. Wyoming has beautiful sunsets!
