Cottonwood Ranch Horse/Cattle Drives



Feel the excitement of riding the open range, driving a thundering herd of horses to their seasonal pastures!  Ride with the Cottonwood Cowboys through mountains and across rushing streams.

Live An Authentic
Old West Adventure!

Depending on weather & other factors, guests spend a day or two with the Cottonwood cowboys riding the spectacular range and just enjoying life at the ranch.  The other 3 or 4 exhilarating days are spent on the horse drive. Out on the Drive, delicious western meals are served up from our chuck wagon.  You'll enjoy evenings around the campfire and count the stars at night as you drift off to sleep in your comfortable bedroll, cot and optional tent.  The last evening is spent back at Cottonwood Ranch where you'll enjoy a final, celebratory night.  It's truly a western adventure that you'll never forget!
