2 nights at Cross E Ranch Camping

My daughter and I tent camped at Christine's for 4 nights. We appreciated being right on the river and the privacy of the site. We didn't need anything but Christine was very willing to accommodate any needs we had.

Weekend Trip to Cross E Ranch Camping

Cute lil cabin. Given it's on a working ranch, I thought it'd be a bit cleaner - lots of dead moths inside. Land and sunset were gorgeous. the owners were super nice and the homemade lemon Greek yogurt and beef jerky were absolutely delicious.

Weekend Trip to Cross E Ranch Camping

I loved being on this ranch and experiencing the wide-open places and solitude. The sunsets were beautiful and it was fun interacting with the animals. The skyline and mountains make for a relaxing evening. I especially recommend staying on the lower side near the stream.

2 nights at Little Goose Tree Fort

Beautiful private spot right on a peaceful creek and surrounded by farm land. Easy access to the northern Bighorn mountains and Chad was so gracious and accommodating - he even took the time to look over some maps of the wilderness and show me some beautiful areas to hike and camp. Wonderful experience!
