There\u2019s no such thing as \u201cjust\u201d another day on the ranch<\/h2>\n

On this Wild West adventure, we\u2019ll take you behind the scenes (and settings) of Taylor Sheridan\u2019s Yellowstone \u2013 a tale of power, family and politics set against a backdrop of unforgettable splendour.<\/p>\n

The tale of the Dutton clan is already being told. Now, let\u2019s tell yours.<\/p>\n

EPISODE 1 \u2013 COWBOYS, CANYONS AND COOKOUTS<\/h2>\n

\u201cLeverage is knowing that if someone had all the money in the world, this is what they\u2019d buy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Touching down in Bozeman \u2013 the gateway to Yellowstone National Park \u2013 you\u2019ll get straight into the saddle as you mount your horses and ride to a remote private camp designed and set up exclusively for you. With spacious tents, horse companions, and a breathtaking backdrop of wild forests, rivers, and mountains, you\u2019ll live out your own version of the show in the Dutton\u2019s valley. One thing\u2019s for sure, it\u2019s a place worth fighting for.<\/p>\n

After dinner, you\u2019ll watch the sunset. Joined by a local naturalist (and wolf expert), you\u2019ll learn about the prey and predator dynamics of the Yellowstone ecosystem.<\/p>\n

The following morning, you\u2019ll explore the nearby Lamar Valley with an expert guide. Nicknamed \u201cthe American Serengeti\u201d (due to its abundance of migrating wildlife) you\u2019ll seek the famous Yellowstone wolves, American bison, black bears, pronghorn antelope, and trumpeter swans. But that\u2019s not all. Heading to the valley\u2019s 600,000-year-old Grand Canyon, you\u2019ll marvel at the magnificent 308-foot cascade of Yellowstone Falls (more than twice as tall as Niagara). Power \u2013 both in the blood and in the earth \u2013 runs deep.<\/p>\n

As night falls, you\u2019ll gain a fascinating insight into the ways of the Wild West \u2013 and a taste of life on the Dutton Ranch; trying your hand at cattle driving, saddling up and guiding 800-pound cows into picturesque pastures. Then, dinner \u2013 with cowboys. Breaking bread and sharing stories, you\u2019ll learn firsthand what life is like for a true Montana wrangler. After a day of wildlife and adventure, it\u2019s time to relax beneath starlit skies. We\u2019ll provide the telescopes \u2013 and the hot chocolate. Or something a little stronger.<\/p>\n

\"Horse<\/a><\/p>\n

EPISODE 2 \u2013 TURN UP THE HEAT<\/h2>\n

\u201cAll the angels are gone, son. There\u2019s only devils left.\u201d<\/p>\n

Saying farewell to Paradise Valley Luxury Camp, you\u2019ll set off on an adventure to discover Yellowstone\u2019s geothermal geology. Alongside your guide, you\u2019ll explore the park\u2019s bubbling and steaming Upper and Lower Geyser Basins as well as the dazzling orange-blue Grand Prismatic \u2013 the largest hot spring in the US (and the third largest in the world).<\/p>\n

After enjoying a picnic lunch, we\u2019ll take you to your next destination: Jackson Hole. Offering a taste of the show\u2019s frontier (and politically lethal) town life, you\u2019ll head to the heart of the city \u2013 and the stylish Hotel Jackson. It even has its own library. Take a leaf out of John and Rip\u2019s book and pour yourself a drink of liquor, reminiscing beside the crackling fire.<\/p>\n

EPISODE 3 \u2013 RIVERS, RAFTS AND RODEOS<\/h2>\n

\u201cCause they’ll always love the life more. And the horse more. And the job more. The rodeo more. I wanna\u2019 be first.\u201d<\/p>\n

Today, you\u2019ll take to the water by raft. Embarking on a tranquil trip from Dead Man\u2019s Bar to Moose Village, you\u2019ll glide along the winding Snake River, passing sagebrush plateaus, spruce forests, and the snow-dusted Teton mountains. Simply sit back, relax, and breathe it all in as your guide propels you along.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

But it won\u2019t be long until you hear the call of the land once more. After an afternoon exploring Jackson Hole\u2019s galleries, boutiques and breweries, we\u2019ll take you out on the town \u2013 at Jackson Hole Rodeo. Part of the area\u2019s cowboy culture for over a century, this is the place to experience the thrill and danger of the show\u2019s rodeo scenes. Here, we\u2019ll arrange for you to have exclusive VIP access, taking you behind the chutes to see how the cowboys and cowgirls prepare for the rodeo, just like Jimmy did before winning his first belt buckle prize in Yellowstone. Taking your seats, you\u2019ll watch the drama unfold.<\/p>\n

\"Grand<\/a><\/p>\n

EPISODE 4 \u2013 THE SECRETS OF HORSE WHISPERING<\/h2>\n

\u201cYou build something worth having, someone\u2019s gonna\u2019 try to take it\u201d.<\/p>\n

Tapping into the ranch lifestyle, we\u2019ll take you to a private ranch<\/a> where you\u2019ll be greeted by the resident wranglers and learn about the history of their home. In true Kayce Dutton style (the show\u2019s go-to-man for tricky horses), you\u2019ll learn the secrets of horsemanship from a real-life horse whisperer. Later that evening, you\u2019ll meet the Duttons (well, almost). Sitting down for dinner with one of the oldest ranching families in Jackson Hole, you\u2019ll gain firsthand insight into the lifestyle and lessons that have been handed down through generations of local cowboys.<\/p>\n

While this episode may be over, we don\u2019t doubt that you\u2019ll head for the horizon again. Wherever in the world It takes you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
