An immersive ranch stay at the edge of the Bighorns.

At the western base of Wyoming’s Bighorn Mountains, Paintrock Canyon Ranch spans nearly 80,000 acres of creekside meadows, carved sandstone cliffs, rocky canyons, and high-country ridgelines.

For a week, this landscape becomes your home — a place to ride, rest, explore, and reconnect to what matters.

The Paintrock Experience

Travel that brings you closer to the land.

At Ranchlands, we believe that travel is about more than a destination. It’s about the connections you build along the way, with a particular place and with the people sharing the experience with you. ⁠

Through genuine participation, you’ll engage with both the land at the Paintrock and the people who call it home. During your stay, you’ll sit down for meals and have conversations with guests from all over the world, as well as our team members, while learning and immersing yourselves in life on the ranch.

Accommodations

At Paintrock, the landscape does most of the talking. Our guest camp is designed to be comfortable but unfussy, putting you as close as possible to the heart of the ranch.

Private Tents

Spacious wall tents set along Paintrock Creek includes a comfortable bed with warm linens, bedside furnishings, and outdoor seating to provide the comfort needed after full days on horseback.

Bathhouses

A short walk from your tent, our private bathroom facilities and hot showers are simple and clean.

Al Fresco Dining

Meals are prepared at camp by our onsite chef team and served al fresco beside the creek, where the sound of flowing water and the glow of canyon walls create a relaxed, memorable atmosphere.

Getting Here

The ranch, located near Hyattville, Wyoming, is one-and-a-half hours from Cody and three hours from Billings, Montana. Both cities have airports with multiple daily flights from major airports. Roundtrip shuttles from the Cody airport to the ranch can be booked via Explore Cody Transportation.

I just got back from Paintrock and, honestly, it’s my favorite Ranchlands location. I will love Zapata forever but there is something so special about Paintrock.

Marcella W.

Paintrock Canyon Ranch is for certain one of the most beautiful places that I have ever been to. The Ranchlands team is truly made up of the best people and they choose the best land and the best horses… nothing compares!
