My husband and I just returned from a spectacular week at Bitterroot Ranch, which we finally visited after years of traveling worldwide on trips run by owners Mel and Bayard Fox run through their Equitours branch.

I don't need personal pampering - the (AMAZINGLY!!!!)... More

Exceeding my expectations by far, this enchanted week was full of excitement, beautiful horses, knowledgeable, caring... More

Gourmet meals of ranch-raised cattle and sheep, river-caught trout, and fresh produce from the garden. Two trail rides a day, including plenty of trotting and cantering, through amazing terrain at 8,000 feet,... More
