The western flanks of the valley hide this professionally run dude ranch, 4.5 miles up Big Creek Rd and 30 miles from Yellowstone. Rates include food and everything from fly-fishing to fun kids’ programs. The dawn horseback rides to catch sunrise over Emigrant Peak are a highlight. There’s a one-week minimum stay June to August. Shoulder-season months are adults only.
