/24-7PressRelease/ - June 05, 2008 - Father's day is only a few weeks away (June 15) and Ranch Rider has the ultimate gift experience for every dad who fancies himself as the next John Wayne.
Tony Daly, Managing Director of Ranch Rider, comments: "Montana and Wyoming offer truly authentic Wild West experiences, allowing Dad to explore cowboy country with real working wranglers. There are also plenty of nostalgic locations nearby the ranches, so if the father in question is a history buff he can immerse himself in stories of legendary battles and the infamous characters of the West."
The Klondike Ranch in Wyoming is the stuff of historic legend, the owners providing atmospheric commentary while out on location. Situated to the North of the ranch is Fort Phil Kearney, site of the Fetterman Massacre and the Wagon Box Fight; and to the South is Outlaw Cave - the hideout of the infamous Hole-in-the-Wall Gang, featured in the Butch Cassidy film. Working ranch chores are incorporated into the ranch stay with the opportunity to check and mend fences, move cattle to new pastures and camp overnight in the Big Horn Mountains. 7-nights with Ranch Rider costs 1,258pp (no single supplement).
The Double Spear Ranch in Pryor, Montana, lies at the heart of the Crow Reservation and the surrounding area is filled with historic sites, including the Custer Battlefield. The ranch owner can also trace his own family history back to the famous Sioux leader, Sitting Bull, ensuring an authentic experience fit for any father longing to head West. Activities revolve around real ranch chores with haying, fencing and colt starting included in the stay. Alternatively cowboys can follow in the footsteps of the gunslingers with target shooting, or learn to rope with a lassoing lesson in the ranch's arena. In addition, pack trips into the Pryor Mountains and camp outs at Castle Rock Gap can be arranged if Dad (AKA Jesse James) wants to get off the beaten track. 7-nights with Ranch Rider costs 1,073pp (no single supplement).
