You can be a guest at the Hideout Guest and Dude Ranch just like Teddy Roosevelt and Ernest Hemingway. Each Hideout home offers two master suites, a guest room, designer linens and a big-screen TV. This western-style lodge offers painting lessons and photography workshops. The ranch will prepare sandwiches for daylong horseback rides and a Le Cordon Bleu culinary-schooled chef will prepare your dinner after your return. Imagine fly-fishing in the ice blue waters and cooking a four-pound rainbow trout. Hike in the mountains, bike or swim. In the spring, you can help brand the calves or go on a cattle drive with real cowboys and cowgirls. Winter offers horseback riding, 400 miles of snowmobile trails and cross-country trails. For an excellent learning experience, visit their Dinosaurs digs---there were two world-class finds here in 2007.
