Guests are picked up at the Worland Airport, or Cody and transported to Ten Sleep, pop. 304. There you will be taken to camp, 2.8 miles south of town. The camp is located along Nowood Creek in an oxbow full of old Cottonwood trees. Guests will stay in spacious Cowboy Teepees (2 per teepee unless requested). There will be a large Indian tipi to lounge in and enjoy. We will get settled in and have orientation at this time and many of your questions will be answered. We will also have a look at the horses. Delicious meals will be home-cooked, at a local restaurant.

After everyone is assigned a horse, the wrangler will demonstrate saddling and help riders to tack up. We will be packing a lunch. Horn bags are provided for each rider, however you need to bring your own water bottles; 2 - one quart or liter bottles. We begin the ride from Belinda's house, where the horses and tack are kept, not far from camp. We will be riding in some rough country with hidden cutbanks and some rocky ridges. It is a good place to familiarize yourself with some of the natural hazards we will encounter during the week. There are also some fabulous views of giant red cliffs and the Big Horn Mountains rising beyond them. It reminds you of a western movie, at times. The pace will vary according to terrain, but there are some great places to open up the horses and make some fast tracks. There are also some places that are steep and brushy with junipers, that might make you want to hang on to the saddle horn. We stay in the Nowood camp again.

After breakfast, we pack our things, which the camp crew will haul, make our lunch, and saddle the horses. We will load the horses in the trailer, us in the van, and drive to the start of the ride, near Worland. We will be riding up and down, through some scenic badlands formations. These colorful formations were formed when Wyoming used to be a giant inland sea and dinosaurs roamed the land. The hills are covered with buffalo grass and sagebrush. It is a long ride to camp. It is a welcome sight when we get there. The cowboy tipis will be set up, snacks on the table and a cold beer or soda in the cooler, to welcome us. Dinner will be hearty and plenty of it. You never go hungry at Renegade Rides. Guests can relax around the campfire and recount the days ride. Perhaps coyotes may sing us to sleep.

Today, we pack up again. We will be riding back to the Nowood camp. On the way we will ride to the top of Wild Horse Butte. It is one of the tallest peaks in the area. The view is awesome and its slopes are often carpeted with wildflowers. It is a steep descent off the peak. At the bottom is Castle Gardens. This large sandstone outcropping has fantastic shapes weathered into it. Some remind you of castles, some of weird animals and other things. There are junipers and Ponderosa pines in and around it. This is a great place to have lunch. After lunch, we ride on and eventually make it down to Ten Sleep. We may want to stop for a drink at the local 'waterhole'. From there it is a bout 3 miles on to camp.

After breakfast, we pack our lunches, and also our things. We will move camp today. We'll load up in the van, the horses in the trailer and head to Mahogany Butte. This incredible butte rises steeply above the Nowood Creek. Huge limestone cliffs attest to a period millions of years ago, when Wyoming was covered by ancient oceans. In more recent history, buffalo climbed up steep rocky slopes to reach the grassy meadows at the top. We will use the same trails as the buffalo did, to eventually make our way to camp. It is a long, steep climb. But it is worth it. Lunch finds us at the top of Deep Creek Canyon. The cliffs, at our feet, drop about 800ft, straight down. It is a view you will never forget; steep cliffs, a sparkling creek at the bottom and a sky so blue above, you will wish you had wings. It doesn't get better than this. We ride on through vast sage covered meadows, with some great places for gallops. We will pass through another small canyon, filled with quaking aspen that remind you of an impressionists painting. After a lot of up hill, we reach camp on Cherry Creek Hill. We are up quite high and the views of Wyoming are tremendous. You can see for a hundred miles, clear up to Montana, and south towards, the Wind River Range. We will stay here two nights.

We are on the Hampton Ranch and chances are that Sam Hampton will need some help working his cattle. He may need some rounded up and trailed to another pasture, or he may have calves to sort, etc. So, we will help Sam out, and get a little taste of what it's like to be a cowboy. Sam loves to have us there and you will enjoy his western sense of humor as we trail the "doggies". Cherry Creek Hill is also a great place to ride, with stands of pine trees and aspen, and we have a good chance to see some elk as we ride. It is a fun day to immerse ourselves in the local cowboy culture.

Guests are picked up at the Worland Airport , or Cody and transported to Ten Sleep, pop. 304. There you will be taken to the Renegade Bunkhouse, 2.8 miles south of town. There are 2 bunkrooms which sleep 6 people each. Or you may opt for a Cowboy Teepee in the backyard with a view of the surrounding country. We will get settled in and have orientation at this time and many of your questions will be answered. We will also have a look at the horses and the tack. Delicious meals will be home-cooked, at the bunkhouse. The views of the sunset are great from the deck, in the backyard.

We will contour around the 'bench' on Cherry Ck Hill, riding through aspen stands and evergreen trees. Up we go, getting up in the granite, over 8,000 ft. There may be more elk up here, or perhaps an eagle or two. We top out above the 'bench' and the land opens up to some great grassy and sage filled meadows. There are some good opportunities to make some fast tracks here. We ride over to the "stock drive". Thousands of head of sheep and cattle have and still do trail up here, to summer pastures in the spring and trail back down in the fall.

Camp is along the Middle Fork of the Powder River. This camp is set near willow trees, surrounded by grassy meadows, with a pleasant stream, to lull us to sleep. It will be cooler up here and may even frost. You will need a jacket. As you sit around the campfire at night, with a billion stars up above, you know it doesn't get much better than this.
