Bonuses for the guests at the Diamond 'P' Ranch

The Diamond 'P' Ranch provides a lot of "little things" that most guest ranchs or outfitters do not

  The Diamond 'P' Ranch was one of the main stage stops for people traveling to Yellowstone Park  back before trains and automobiles.  This old two story  hotel sets back up on the hill right near the main barns and corrals; it had been a landmark throughout the years.  Although it has been boarded up for years, it is still in fairly good condition and  we are in the process of  a low-key restoration. Early arriving guests can wander through it and look at some of the relics from years-gone-by.

 We're in Yellowstone country, but we're not in Yellowstone National Park. However, the park is only 7 miles away from us; there is no fence around Yellowstone Park! We see and hear wolves, coyotes, and elk.  We see bear, mountain sheep, moose, and on and on.  We have some of the greatest wildlife viewing in the country, and they are truly animals in the wild!

Because of the rodeo background of the Halo Ranch Outfitters, who provide the horseback riding facilities at the Diamond 'P' Ranch, there are several pairs of chaps for guests that want them.

Oh give me a home where the buffalo roam-----



Some of our guides (not all) are great singers and performers.  They love to play the guitar, or the accordian and conduct sing-a-longs with the guests, especially while riding in the haywagon to the chuckwagon supper.

Early arriving guests are taught the basics of handling a lariat, sometimes we even have a  competition roping! (a hay bale)

Reservations:  Reservations can be made by calling (406) 646-7246  or (208) 558-7077  If an after-hour situation develops, we can be reached by cell phone at (208) 390-8883.  During the off-season, after phone call approval, rides may even be booked by e-mail.  halo@yellowstonehorses.com

The guides provide a short course in horsemanship and safety before the riders leave the corral.  The guides then choose the guest's horses using factors such as size, age, and experience. The stirrups are carefully adjusted for comfort while riding in the mountains.

While traveling through the meadows, we ride among livestock. When you ride along side of a 1700 pound bull, be prepared for an adrenalin rush! You will have a true western ranch adventure along with the thrills of riding in the mountains.  Be sure you bring a camera.
