Explore UXU Ranch: Your Gateway to Cody, Wyoming, Yellowstone, and Mummy Cave

Experience the enchantment of scenic horseback riding, fishing (captured in May, the water becomes crystal clear post-spring runoff), invigorating hikes, wildlife encounters, captivating photography, delectable cuisine, serene tranquility, and encounters with genuine cowboys and cowgirls, ready to spin a yarn or two.
Nestled between the Washakie Wilderness to the South and the North Absaroka Wilderness to the North, the UXU Ranch is situated along the North fork of the Shoshone River, within the Shoshone National Forest. Explore more about these wilderness areas at www.wilderness.net. To the West of the UXU Ranch lies Mummy Cave-when heading towards Yellowstone from UXU, find the cave by parking at the designated area just before the first bridge after UXU Ranch, following the trail to the small wooden fence.
My time at UXU Ranch was significantly enriched by indulging in a 2-hour horseback ride on Friday and a 1-hour ride on Saturday. The breathtaking views and trail options for all skill levels made the experience unforgettable. They even offer options for full-day rides or multi-day adventures. As of May 2018, the prices were $45 for a 1-hour ride and $65 for a 2-hour ride, an absolute bargain considering the joy I had with Pooch (the cowboy leading the way) and his daughter Sherry. Despite not having been on a horse since the early 1990s, their expertise instilled confidence, and I couldn't help but feel like Billy Crystal in City Slickers.
For those planning a visit (which I highly recommend), mention Captain America sent you! Reservations can be made through their website, www.uxuranch.com, or by calling. Trust me, a vacation at this ranch is unforgettable. Additionally, Theodore Roosevelt hailed the stretch from Cody to the East Entrance of Yellowstone as the 50 most beautiful miles in America, and the UXU Ranch is undeniably a part of that scenic wonder.
