A Wyoming Gem - Red Butte Ranch is Unforgettable!…read more
If you're planning a visit to the Casper, WY area, look no further than Red Butte Ranch--it's not just a place to stay, it's an experience you'll carry with you long after you've gone.
Ruth, the heart and soul of the Ranch, is an absolute force of nature. She doesn't know the meaning of the words "slow down" or "give up." Her tireless energy and sincere hospitality create a welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel more like a treasured guest in her home than a traveler passing through. Ruth's warmth, charm, and can-do attitude are just the beginning--she goes out of her way to ensure every detail of your stay is perfect. Whether it's making sure your accommodations are just right, giving advice on local attractions, or sharing a good story, Ruth's presence adds a special touch you won't find anywhere else.
The property itself is stunning. Nestled right along the North Platte River, Red Butte Ranch offers unbeatable access to Wyoming's natural beauty. Imagine waking up to the sound of rushing water, breathing in fresh mountain air, and enjoying coffee with a view that looks like it came straight out of a movie. (It actually did too! John Wayne's last film was shot with the Red Butte as a backdrop!) You can fish right from the banks, use one of their two private boat ramps to launch your own boat, swim in the river, or just sit back and watch bald eagles soar overhead.
For the more adventurous, there's no shortage of things to do:
Hiking through scenic terrain
Rockhounding for local treasures
Fly fishing in world-renowned trout waters
Horseback riding, floating the river, or simply taking in the wildlife--it's all right there.
Even if you're not the outdoorsy type, the Ranch is a peaceful retreat where you can unwind, recharge, and appreciate the quiet majesty of Wyoming's landscape. The views alone are worth the stay.
Bottom line: I can't recommend Red Butte Ranch enough. Whether you're passing through for a night or planning an extended getaway, make this your home base in Wyoming. It's the only place I'll ever stay in Casper, and I'd give it ten stars if I could. Beautiful setting, incredible host, and unforgettable memories.
