True Ranch Collection, revered for its stewardship of historic dude ranches across Arizona, Montana, and now Wyoming, has chosen the landmark Blackwater Creek Ranch as the site for this seasonal offering. This move underscores the company’s commitment to preserving the heritage and authenticity of the American West while providing guests with a memorable and luxurious stay. “Blackwater Creek is a natural fit for the True Ranch Collection,” remarked Jaye Wells, managing partner of True Ranch Collection. “Between Yellowstone and Cody, Wyoming, we’ve found the most iconic location to welcome our guests to this historic ranch.”

Situated just 15 miles from the East Entrance of Yellowstone National Park, the ranch stands on the scenic confluence of the Shoshone River and Blackwater Creek. It’s a setting so captivating that Theodore Roosevelt once proclaimed it “the most scenic 50 miles in the U.S.” The pop-up ranch offers all-inclusive three- and six-night stays, starting at $1,500 per person, based on double occupancy. This includes accommodations, meals, ranch activities and amenities, off-ranch excursions, entertainment, and special events.

The lodge and log cabins, nestled within a serene grove, promise a retreat to up to 35 guests at a time. With interiors that boast Western elegance, from Navajo rugs to cozy bedding, the accommodations ensure an authentic and comfortable stay. The range of activities available reflects the true spirit of a dude ranch experience. Guests can embark on horseback riding adventures, test their archery and sport shooting skills, fly fishing, and even partake in whitewater rafting. Evenings are reserved for entertainment and special events, ensuring that each day ends on a high note.

The Yellowstone Pop-Up Ranch’s commitment to an authentic Western experience and preservation sets it apart. Proceeds from the ranch benefit the historic O.T.O. Dude Ranch near the park’s North Entrance in Montana, reflecting True Ranch Collection’s broader mission to keep the traditions and hospitality of the West alive.
