There are a lot of things you can't get out here.
There are a few things here you can get nowhere else. Like the freedom to be your own woman; simplicity and a return to a straightforward way of doing things. High Wild & Lonesome promises you will get these things and more, all set in the middle of expansive western Country and doing things the horsewoman's way, from the back of an honest Horse with a free-spirited Wyoming crew.
Active Riding on Good Horses
High Wild & Lonesome horseback adventures are not to be confused with dull "nose to tail" trail rides. A lifetime of outfitting experience has taught us that you will appreciate riding gentle, energetic, savvy Quarter Horses from the remuda. The rides are safe and controlled, yet physically active. Where practical, riders ride abreast and extended gaits such as the lope are favored, when and where appropriate.
Natural horse philosophies and methods are practiced and taught throughout the week. The instruction is not formal, but ongoing, practical application whenever you are around the saddle Horses. You will be a much more confident and knowledgeable horsewoman at the conclusion of your horseback riding vacation.
Away From the Crowds
 One of the greatest benefits that you will enjoy when you choose a High Wild & Lonesome horseback riding vacation is the intimate, exclusive experience that is not often found on dude ranch vacations, pack trips, working ranches or other trail riding vacations where 12-50 riders are common. A smaller group means more personal attention, more privacy and more individual space. You won't get lost in a crowd at High Wild & Lonesome; group size is limited to 6 enthusiastic riders per week.
Home on the Range
You will live out on the trail in a full-amenity, vehicle-supported ,wilderness-style camp. Sleep out under the stars or in a roomy, weather-proof range tipi. A thick foam pad under your bedroll, plus the pure Wyoming air, promises you a good nights' sleep. Wash off the trail dust at the end of the days' ride in a hot shower or take a refreshing dip in the cool waters of the Little Sandy River just a step away from your tipi door.
The cookhouse is the heart of the camp, where your camp cook uses Dutch ovens over an open fire to serve you hearty, western-style meals. Settle into your camp easy chair, pour yourself a cup of steaming hot Cowboy  coffee and enjoy a varied menu that features organic grass-fed buffalo, and includes wild Alaska salmon, grilled chicken, crisp salads, fresh fruits natural cereals and yogurt, vegetables, pasta, homemade biscuits and breads, and if you still have room, desserts made from scratch.
At nightfall, take your favorite beverage and join the crew around the campfire. Enjoy old-time and contemporary western music and poetry, and maybe a few good stories from your wranglers. Some of these tales might even be true!
Wide Open Spaces
When you are riding with High Wild & Lonesome, you will be horseback in the midst of the wide-open spaces of Wyoming, with 100-mile vistas stretching between the horizons. Ride along the Continental Divide as it crosses the Red Desert or into the Honeycombs badlands wilderness of the Great Divide Basin. Find yourself along the banks of the Sweetwater River as it winds its way like a ribbon of refreshment through the high, cool desert.
This tall and uncut Country is the home of the true western perspective. Cowboys, wild horses, historic trails, and ancient Native American campsites are still a part of this landscape. The fences are few and far between, "civilization" is a long way off and the freedom to ride is limited only by your desire.
