| Imagine yourself riding off the mountain after a day of packing salt, doctoring some calves and moving a herd of cattle from |
| the bottom of Fritz Creek to the head of Divide Creek. Just before you get to camp you hear the sound of a bull elk bulging up |
| the canyon, you smell some great cowboy cooking, and you think of relaxing by the fire and crawling into a clean |
| comfortable bed. Now that’s the romance of being a cowboy, something you will experience every day here where you live |
| as nineteenth century cowboys did. The ranch is located at the head of Medicine Lodge, Idaho. This makes it the ideal setting |
| for cowboying along the Idaho-Montana border, the Continental Divide, and in beautiful Targhee National Forest. Guests ride |
| with actual cowboys taking care of up to 2000 mother cows and their calves and bison (buffaloes) on the summer range. |
| You will have the opportunity to stay in an authentic cow camp that has been used by cowboys since the turn of the |
| century. Elevation varies from 7000 to 8000 feet and you are within a few miles of the Continental Divide. The ranch is |
| headquartered at the Medicine Lodge Cow Camp, where the resident camp cowboy lives with his family. The guests stay in |
| one of the western-style-decorated cabins - one is even a renovated 1900’s schoolhouse. For one week you will ride the |
| range and participate in the everyday activities of a working cowboy! |
