The CM Ranch has been a favorite dude ranch for decades and is listed with the National Historic Registry. The area features an exceptional variety of country for riding and pack trips. All ages are welcome. Children 5 and older may ride and fully participate in ranch activities. Well-cared for horses are matched to the rider’s ability. The CM has 4 miles of stream for private fly-fishing and many other excellent fisheries within a few miles of the ranch. There is a heated pool and spa on the premises. At the CM Ranch children enjoy great freedom and will engage with other children in a variety of lawn games. Evening activities include square dancing, cookouts, cowboy music, bonfires, slide show and more. Good hiking trails on and near the ranch. Pack trips into the Fitzpatrick Wilderness may be combined with a ranch vacation, or taken separately. Beautifully decorated accommodations are clean, comfortable with different layouts to fit different sized groups. The CM is located 1 hour from the south entrance of Yellowstone Park.

As the majestic, snow-packed Teton peaks; grassy, golden meadows; and splashing, cobalt streams of Wyoming pass by, you won’t be able to resist rolling down your windows. The climb through Togwotee Pass affords you and your family a glimpse of the famous Continental Divide at 9,658 feet elevation. Then, as the pine forests phase into red rock cliffs, you descend into Dubois.

The paved US 26 highway eventually gives way to the winding and rocky Horse Creek Road, which slowly folds into the most beautiful country you have ever seen. The T Cross Ranch isn’t far.

Your car finally jostles under the overhanging arch indicating the entrance to the great T Cross. Ten cabins nestle cozily in the pine trees. And the jagged peaks of the Absaroka Range, named for the area’s Native American heritage, tower over 13,000 feet.

The horse corral sets down to the south, and you catch a glimpse of your new best friend. Atop the hand-picked and well-trained horses the rugged mountain trails of the T Cross will reveal over the next week a myriad of wildlife, seen only in the greater Yellowstone area.

The T Cross Ranch has a timeless magic that you and your family feel from the moment you open your car doors and step back to the Old West.

“Welcome to the T Cross, the passport to your personal frontier.”
