You won't regret your time at CM Ranch!

"This past week, CM Ranch treated our family of 7 to a vacation that exceeded all expectations! We made the trip out to this beautiful part of the country to enjoy horseback riding, hiking, fly fishing, and - most importantly - eating well!

"Sam, the Head Wrangler, has done an amazing job of training all of the horses and making sure they’re happy and healthy. A happy horse is a safe horse and on this alone, I’d recommend the CM over any other Dude Ranch in Wyoming."

- Michael R., June 2019
