The Hideout Lodge & Guest Ranch is an upscale Riding, Horse & Cattle working guest ranch, just east of Yellowstone Park. It offers 2 riding programs, the classic Cowboy Program and a new Advanced Riders Program.

With a herd of approx. 3,000 Black Angus and 250 horses, these animals graze a combination of private property, BLM lands, and a national forest at elevations varying between 4200 to 10,000 feet, as they share 250,000 acres with the 100-year old Flitner Ranch in Shell.

The Hideout is mainly a riding, horsemanship, and cattle guest ranch, with other activities available from fishing to hiking, allowing a full outdoors experience. Most of the horses are owned and trained by The Hideout, including a string of Mustangs. All of these horses are fine-tuned and conditioned prior to the start of the season and are looked after with extreme care by a specialized horse vet. The Hideout also has there own Ferrier on staff.

The Hideout takes pride in its large number of returning guests, among them, many Europeans who come to ride and explore The American West. This upscale guest ranch allows only 25 riders at a time, providing an intimate and true experience, which draws guests to choose The Hideout among other Wyoming guest ranches.

The Hideout is not a “nose-to-tail” riding experience. On your vacation, rides are diverse and customized according to riding skills and riding activity of the group. Advanced riders will experience high end horses, while instructed by experienced wranglers, charro’s, cowboys & cowgirls, all excellent horsemen, riding & stockman ship instructors. Beginner and intermediate riders will ride safe and willing horses, as well as patient instructors. The Hideout’s believes that a true ranch experience should allow the family to enjoy this experience together and there for does not provide separate children’s programs. Children as young as 7 years old have taken part in this ranching vacation, as many of the experienced younger riders can do it all!

The Hideout is proud to speak 5 languages, which include French, German, and Dutch.
