As the majestic, snow-packed Teton peaks, grassy, golden meadows, and splashing cobalt streams of Wyoming pass by, you won't be able to resist rolling down your windows. The climb through Togwotee Pass affords you and your family a glimpse of the famous Continental Divide at 9,658 feet elevation. Then, as the pine forests phase into red rock cliffs, you descend into Dubois. The paved US 26 highway eventually gives way to the winding and rocky Horse Creek Road, which slowly folds into the most beautiful country you have ever seen. The T Cross Ranch isn't far. Your car finally jostles under the overhanging arch indicating the entrance to the great T Cross. Ten cabins nestle cozily in the pine trees. And the jagged peaks of the Absaroka Range, named for the area's Native American heritage, tower over 13,000 feet. The horse corral sets down to the south, and you catch a glimpse of your new best friend. Atop the hand-picked and well-trained horses, the rugged mountain trails of the T Cross will reveal over the next week a myriad of wildlife, seen only in the greater Yellowstone area. The T Cross Ranch has a timeless magic that you and your family feel from the moment you open your car doors and step back to the Old West. The first sound you'll hear is a spritely bird song; the second is a warm "Howdy" from your hosts Mark and Gretchen Cardall.

Welcome to the T Cross, the passport to your own personal frontier.

Itinerary

Ranch Dining

T Cross cuisine is hearty ranch food with a gourmet touch of elegance. Homemade breads and desserts are a specialty. Meals are served in the historic T Cross Lodge except for Wednesday supper cookouts on Horse Creek.

Dinner begins with a happy hour for adults at 6:00 p.m. in the Lodge. At dinner, long pants and a collared shirt are a rule.

We are happy to accommodate any special dietary needs with advance notification.

Ranch Activities

The T Cross provides unforgettable horseback rides for adults and children,customized for different skill levels. Half-day and all-day rides are scheduled all week long, taking you through breath-taking scenery, rich in wildlife.

Other activities include fly-fishing, cow-cutting, hiking, pack trips, shooting, and tubing down Horse Creek. Take a whip-cracking or roping lesson from one of our wranglers, or simply relax and enjoy the view.

Ranch Lodging

The T Cross can accommodate 24 guests weekly in 10 rustic cabins nestled in the pines and featuring spectacular views in all directions. Enjoy the mornings and evenings on your private porch.

Cabins are decorated with a late 19th century feel. Furniture is all hand built and attention paid to authentic detailing. Each cabin includes a private bath, and one or several bedrooms. The ranch welcomes couples, families, or single guests.

In the evening, relax in the hot tub under a sky of stars.
