Special Weekly Events at The Hideout

Wyoming Icons and Wild Horses – MAY 18-24, and OCTOBER 19-25,2008

Ride a section of the historic Jim Bridger Trail, located between Greybull and Cody. This is rugged, high dessert country where we pasture many of our cows. Here, you will be given the opportunity to spot antelope, eagles and wild horses.

Stewart Reed, our Head Wrangler, will guide this ride and will educate guests on the history of the Jim Bridger Trail and of the area in general:

Utilized for only one emigrant season, the Jim Bridger Trail opened in 1864. Created by renowned mountain man and guide: Jim Bridger, the trail also offered a safe route up to the Bozeman Trail for gold prospectors which avoided areas known for dangerous conflicts between the U.S. Army and Northern Plains Indians. Jim Bridger was and continues to be a legend. He is known for his explorations of the Western United States and was among the first non-natives to see the natural wonders Yellowstone has to offer.

Later in the week, learn about the historic use of black powder as local specialist, Jeff McManus demonstrates its power. Evening entertainment will be provided by a firearms curator from the Buffalo Bill Center in Cody. Topic of interest will be “Guns of the West”.

A truly historic and western week that you don’t want to miss!

Western Photography Workshop –OCTOBER 12-18, 2008: please contact us for exact dates.

Over the years, we have received much feedback about organizing a week that is dedicated to photography.  We are very excited to announce that Bobbie Goodrich, a well known painter and photographer will hold a Photography Workshop during the week of October 12-18th, 2008. Limited to 8 guests, Bobbie will assist during the photo shoots and will give Photoshop seminars.  The last two days will be spent teaching you the “secrets” of Photoshop and how to manipulate your pictures.

***October is a popular month to visit The Hideout for cattle work. This is the time of year that we bring our cow/calf pairs down from the mountain before the snow falls. If the Western Photography Workshop does not suit you, please be rest assured that we still have plenty of cattle work for the cowboys/cowgirls at heart!***
