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.
