Join us for an unforgettable ranch experience as we bring in our cattle across a vast landscape of remote wilderness.
Overview
The Bitterroot cattle spend the summer starting in July grazing on the adjacent national forest land. The summer drive week includes one day of pushing the herd to their grazing allotment, with additional opportunities for cow work during the week. The rest of the rides are spent on the trail in the spectacular landscape of this unique area.
