Working Cattle Ranches 

Cattle Drives & Working Cattle Ranches by Gordon's Guide
  
 

Home > Cattle Drives & Working Ranches > Regions

Welcome to Gordon's Guide to Cattle Drives and Working Cattle Ranches. We have a listing of the finest working cattle ranches in North America. Steeped in the western tradition of the cowboy, each ranch property is unique with its own distinct character, from working cattle ranches, to resort properties. They all promote the western way of life and prioritize the needs of the guest.

Horseback riding is a part of every ranch and accommodations vary from rustic to luxurious. Other activities include swimming, fishing, whitewater rafting, hiking, wildlife viewing, sightseeing, and much more. Food is always bountiful and hearty and in some cases, gourmet.

Begin your search by selecting one of the regions below. We recommend you study our listing of cattle drives and working cattle ranches, narrow your selection to 2 or 3, and contact those ranches for more detailed information. If you prefer, we also have a check availability tool for checking dates, rates, and to request brochures from our selection of cattle drives & working ranches.

In addition to cattle drives and working cattle ranches, we also have a listing of related western horseback riding vacations such as dude ranches & guest ranch vacations, wagon trains, horse pack trips, and horseback riding stables.

Their philosophy is aptly summed up in a quote by the late, great, western artist, Charlie Russell, which goes something like this, “one can see what is man-made from the seat of an automobile. But, one can only see what God created from the back of a horse.” Join Powder River for a cattle drive or wagon train adventure you'll never forget.
