I went on a 2-hour horseback ride through foothills and pine forest at the Double Diamond X Ranch with Phillip as our guide. I'm very unfamiliar with Wyoming, but the scenic sights overlooking the South Fork Valley were breathtaking every step of the way. Our guide introduced us to flora of region sharing their homeopathic uses and spoke of the remote wilderness within the Thorofare beyond the mountains in their backyard.
Despite being late in the season nearing Mid-September when rides start to become unavailable in the region, the hosts were incredibly accommodating and cordial. We were able to make our reservation earlier that same day.
My only regret was not scheduling more time to dine, drink, and explore the South Fork from the quaint and peaceful Double Diamond X Ranch. During my next visit to Wyoming, this Ranch will be high on my list of places to visit. read more
