We will strive to make your experience with us a pleasant and memorable one. Our ranglers are courtious and friendly. We offer a truly unique and unmatched western experience. The 1 hour ride takes place on the Lone Butte Ranch which was originally homesteaded in 1882 and owned by our family since 1954. The 2 hour ride begins on our ranch and then we ride by the location of a nearby western movie set (subject to availability) where legends like John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart, Kevin Costner and countless other famous movie stars have filmed movies over the decades.
