Our two overnights in one trip

The 3-Day joins a night at Hell's A-Roarin' Ranch, our partner ranch above Gardiner, with the Overnight Raft Trip. The river is the star of the show: a night at our private riverside camp and the Class III rapids of Yankee Jim Canyon to finish.

At the ranch you ride in the evening, sit down to a cowboy cookout, and sleep at the ranch. Next morning there's another ride and lunch before you come down to our shop to start the river trip.

It's a family favorite for good reason: three days, two nights, and a Yellowstone trip your kids will talk about for years.

Your three days

From the ranch to Yankee Jim Canyon

Day 1 · The ranch

  1. Afternoon: drive up to the ranch

    We send you directions. It's 20 to 30 minutes up a mountain dirt road, so leave large RVs and trailers in town.

  2. An evening ride

    A horseback ride with views over Yellowstone.

  3. The Cowboy Cookout

    Steak on the grill and all the fixins', then a night at the ranch.

Day 2 · Ride, then raft

  1. Breakfast and a morning ride

    About an hour and a half on horseback, then lunch.

  2. 3:00 pm: check in at our shop

    We suit you up for the river and take your bag to camp.

  3. Four miles to the river camp

    Class II and III through the town stretch, then dinner by the fire and s'mores.

Day 3 · Yankee Jim Canyon

  1. Breakfast by the river

    Hot coffee, pancakes, bacon and eggs.

  2. 14 more miles

    Lunch on the riverbank, then the Class III rapids of Yankee Jim Canyon.

  3. Back to Gardiner

    A short bus ride back to the shop.
