To experience a few hours of Western life, make your way to the Bit-O-Wyo Ranch. Before you head to the ranch, make reservations for the trail ride, one of the highlights of the visit. The trail ride will take you through groves of Aspens, up onto high ridges and back down into valleys. Before you head home, enjoy supper at the Horse Barn Dinner Show. Once you go through the "chuckwagon line," you'll enjoy some country entertainment. The Bit-O-Wyo Ranch is available for private gatherings or meetings.
