Head west for 10 unforgettable escapades in Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota and South Dakota.
MONTANA & WYOMING
1 Experience the romance of the West
Western cowboy culture is at its most authentic in Montana and Wyoming. Try an unforgettable ranch holiday with horse-riding or a wide range of other recreational activities, all with a spectacular scenic backdrop. You’ll be spoilt for choice in where to stay, with luxury resort and working ranch amenities, and authentic ranch-style accommodation. The “dude” (luxury guest) ranches offer incredible getaways for all kinds of travellers: from dream weddings and honeymoons to extended family annual reunions and adventurers seeking new experiences. Channel your inner cowboy or cowgirl, learning skills such as roping, cutting and branding; or maybe fishing, hiking, hay and wagon rides will appeal. Enjoy nightly entertainment from chuckwagon dinners to local bluegrass bands and swing dancing, if you have any energy left after taking part in the pack trips, wagon trains or rodeos.
2 Roam some of America’s most spectacular national parks From the beauty of Glacier National Park to the splendour of Yellowstone, America’s first national park, Montana and Wyoming offer vast, untouched landscapes just waiting to be explored. Grand Teton National Park, Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area, Devils Tower National Monument and Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail showcase the spectacular natural treasures in these states. 3 Immerse yourself in Native American culture Experience Native American traditions at pow wows such as Montana’s Crow Fair or North American Indian Days, and Wyoming’s Northern Arapaho Pow Wow or Plains Indian Museum Pow Wow in Cody. The various tribes celebrate their cultures with dancing, drumming, games, sports and tribal regalia which help preserve the history of the many Northern Plains cultures.
