UXU Ranch (WY)

Wyoming

In Depth

The UXU Guest Ranch is located 17 miles from the east entrance to the Yellowstone National Park and is noted for its outstanding scenery. It is a very spacious ranch, situated on the North Fork of the Shoshone River. The abundance of adequate water and open space allows the UXU Ranch a perfect setting for dining in the open air while overlooking horses eating in a lush green mountain pasture.

Horseback riding at the ranch is one the main reasons people choose a dude ranch vacation and at the UXU you will find a diverse range of riding terrain that allows everyone from the most seasoned cowboy to the upstart Green Horn a chance to enjoy this special activity.

Rides range from one hour to all day. We at the UXU try accommodate all levels of riding experience with horses chosen just for you for the week and rides focused on what you would like. Whether it's loping through a mountain meadow to cresting the high ridges, we can deliver!

Fly-Fishing at the ranch at the North Fork of the Shoshone River, in our small beaver ponds or even the great Yellowstone Glacier Lake, is an experience that will be treasured. Our resident fly-fishing guide has worked them all and knows the best spots. Our guide understands the needs of each guest.

Our fly-fishing guide will be glad to work with you on your cast, whether you are a beginner or advanced and has the patience to help everyone have a great time. The guide also knows when to leave well enough alone and allow the more seasoned individuals to spend a week doing what they enjoy in a place like no other!

Food

If you're of the opinion that "gourmet food" and "dude ranch" don't belong in the same sentence together, think again. Long famous for its exceptional food and wine, the UXU has recently expanded our menu and added a number of international selections to our wine list. So whether you're looking for fresh regional fare like grilled Wyoming beef, or a more nuanced dish like pork medallions with a huckleberry glaze, you're likely to enjoy a lot of great food during your week here.
