The Paintrock Canyon Ranch sprawls across northern Wyoming, made up of rolling meadows and streams carving through high alpine valleys. The ranch’s landscape is characterized by the Paintrock Canyon, which starts at the ranch headquarters and meanders for 8 miles, opening into the Paintrock basin at foot of Cloud Peak, the highest peak in the Bighorn range. The Canyon itself is shaped by steep limestone slopes that climb thousands of feet high above the trail. Red sandstone cliffs, whose color transforms from deep orange to burgundy red with the changing light, rise above the meadows surrounding the ranch’s headquarters. At the bottom of the canyon is Paintrock Creek, widely known to be one of the best fisheries in the region for rainbow, brown, brook and cutthroat trout. Wildlife is plenty– bobcat, elk, mule and whitetail deer, pronghorn and bears all roam freely.

Nights will be spent tent camping at base camp, with the exception of the first and last night. Base camp will be complete with the comforts of a warm shower, tents, and an open fire “kitchen” where meals will be prepared by a private chef. On the first and last nights of the trip, guests will stay in guest housing at the ranch. Each guest will have their own tent while camping and may have a roommate for the first and last nights at the ranch. Tents will be provided, but please refer to the packing list for a complete list of what to bring.
