Bitterroot Cattle Roundup Horseback Riding Vacation

Rss Feed March 5th, 2009

The Bitterroot Ranch is one of the finest equestrian vacations in North America that offers a cattle roundup. The ranch is located in a remote valley of Wyoming, which borders the Wind River Indian Reserve and the Shoshone National Forest. Even though horseback riding is the prime activity at the ranch the cattle roundup is taking it to the next level.

The Bitterroot is a family run working ranch, where you are likely to enjoy every bit of being there! Of course, your favorite activity would be riding a horse, through varied terrain, witnessing the spectacular views. It offers both English and western types of riding. There are more than 65 horses that cater to all horse riders, irrespective of riding ability and background. The ranch raises cattle, purebred Arabian and quarter horses.

The Bitterroot Cattle Roundup happens to be an amazing place for those who want to learn riding in some beautiful environment while experiencing a true cattle drive. The bitterroot cattle graze in the nearby Shoshone National Forest from July to October. If you are fortunate enough to visit the ranch during this time, you will get the opportunity to help the cowboys in herding the cattle into the mountains in the first week of July and then rounding them up in the last week of September. During the roundup, the cattle tend to spread out over fifty miles of forests, mountains, clearings, as well as river valleys. Working cattle on horseback will surely add another dimension to your riding vacation.
