The Padlock Ranch is a place where guests come to live the legacy! This legacy is founded on sound and enduring principles, such as land stewardship, quality stockmanship, honesty and hard work. It is here that guests experience these principles first hand, while spending a week on an authentic Wyoming working cattle ranch. 
 
As ranch hands, guests will be riding the ranch’s finest ranch horses to assist with routine cattle drives, gathering and sorting, as well as checking for health issues and doctoring as needed. Guests also enjoy a relaxing atmosphere full of good times, good food, good friends, and the scenic outdoors.  Away from all the intrusions of today’s hurried lifestyles, it is here that guests appreciate a unique sense of accomplishment, camaraderie, and self fulfillment. It is truly the ultimate working ranch vacation!
 
Our guests are those who foremost enjoy and have an appreciation for the western cowboy way of life. They are outgoing, adventurous, and seek opportunities to rise and meet most challenges presented to them. Padlock Ranch guests are not afraid of long, rigorous hours in the saddle, working cattle and participating in other ranch activities. At the same time they take pleasure in times of rest and relaxation, whether this is found around an evening campfire, on a leisurely trail ride, a hike, a sight seeing trip, or in the comfort of their dwelling. They are excited to learn how we are winning the west on this authentic Wyoming cattle ranch!
 
For guests seeking to challenge themselves to reach greater heights, we offer a Cowboy School. Cowboy School is an opportunity for us to work with guests on an individual basis to hone in on the skills they would most like to improve.  Click here to learn more about the Padlock Ranch Cowboy School.
