Cowboys, Ranches & Horses: Family adventure in the Rockies

Embark on an unforgettable journey through the awe-inspiring landscapes of the Rockies, where luxury and wilderness come together to create an experience like no other. Your adventure begins in Wyoming, where you will collect your rental car and drive to the prestigious Amangani, your “peaceful home” nestled amidst dramatic mountain peaks and pristine national parks. This exclusive boutique resort promises unmatched tranquillity and breathtaking views, setting the perfect tone for the days ahead.

After a restful night, the next morning sees you delving into the natural splendour of Grand Teton National Park. Your private driver will collect you after breakfast for a day brimming with discovery and wonder. Traverse the National Elk Refuge, keeping an eye out for wildlife as your expert guide unveils the hidden gems of the park. Antelope Flats and the iconic Mormon Row offer captivating glimpses of bison and pronghorn herds in their natural habitat. As you journey along the Moose-Wilson Road, let the peaceful setting charm you, with sightings of beavers, herons, and more along the way. A gourmet lunch amidst this pristine wilderness rounds off an extraordinary day.

The following morning invites you to a serene float down the Snake River. Set against the majestic backdrop of the Jackson Hole valley, this 7-mile river journey combines learning, tranquillity, and wildlife spotting. Your guide’s expert knowledge enhances every moment, and a stop for a delightful riverside lunch at a private camp provides the perfect pause to soak in your surroundings.

Your adventure continues as you head to Yellowstone National Park for an exploration of the famed Lower Loop, guided by a local expert who knows every intricate detail of this extraordinary volcanic wonder. This tailor-made journey reveals the park’s most iconic sights – from steaming geysers and bubbling mud volcanoes to the majesty of the Continental Divide. The next day, your guide will take you on a bespoke tour of the Upper Loop, where wildlife sightings, secluded hikes, and hidden gems like backcountry geysers and cascading waterfalls await.

Round off your Rocky Mountain journey with an indulgent stay at The Ranch at Rock Creek, where unparalleled luxury meets authentic western adventure. With a host of bespoke activities included in your stay, your family will have endless opportunities to create unforgettable memories. Whether galloping on horseback along scenic trails, mastering the art of cowboy roping, or embarking on fly-fishing excursions on the trout-rich waters, each day is yours to shape. Thrill-seekers will relish ziplining through the pines or tackling a ropes course, while those seeking a slower pace can unwind at “Bikini Beach” by the lake or in the rejuvenating Granite Spa.
Beyond the ranch, the Rockies offer even more to explore, from guided ghost town tours to heli-adventures that promise jaw-dropping aerial views. Customise your stay with ease, knowing that each moment spent at The Ranch embodies the spirit of the Rockies in the lap of luxury.
