it's the unmatched horseback riding through spectacular backcountry and sage meadows surrounded by a million acres of the Bighorn Mountain National Forest for others hiking across carpeted fields of natural wildflowers and unspoiled natural beauty brings them back [Music] or maybe it's the fishing for native cutthroat trout we're spending good times with family and new friends from around the

surroundings offer if that isn't reason enough to come experience a little bit of heaven in one of the most beautiful places on earth well we know you'll find your own does it get any better than this

hundred and fifty horses headed to the mountain pastures for the night for some serious power grazing [Music] [Music] [Music] as many times you might see the horses come in or go out for the evening this site still makes the heart pound and get the adrenaline flowing time after time [Music] but what's special about a dude ranch vacation your host clay Miller talks about the many benefits of a ranch vacation I think some of the things that are special about a dude ranch vacation are the way it brings people and families together you take people and you put them into a natural environment you get them involved in the various dude ranch activities the writing the fishing the hiking those sorts of things you give them the opportunity to spend time as a family many times in an urban environment people don't have the opportunity to spend lots of time together they get to the ranch and they get just that we at this ranch a lot of times we take great pride and the ability to reconnect children and groups to the outdoors so much of what happens in in the cities these days is you know you get involved with technology and those sorts of things at a dude ranch we take you right back to the natural environment and reconnect people the other thing I think that's tremendous about a dude ranch is that it's it's easy for a family to set up and organize most of the dude ranches are set up on a full american plan to where it's one price for everything that you do at the ranch and you don't have to worry about setting up separate restaurant reservations activity times things like that and the ranch takes care all of that in one place and then lastly to me what we do is that we put people in a truly safe environment in this day and age that's harder and harder to find when you come to this dude's ranch nothing's locked no cabins are locked kids are allowed to completely roam free here the parents are assured that they're safe they're in a safe environment they do the kind of things that kids should be doing they're outdoors doing cowboys and rides there they're playing capture the flag they do a fishing derby during the week and they truly do reconnect with the outdoors in a totally safe environment but what's special about paradise isn't just awesome scenery and incredible food and activities but a passion the ranch has for both their guests and their employees as a permanent reminder of the caring nature and personality of the ranch a permanent tribute to a former employee who was killed in an accident was built that guests may use and enjoy [Music] a special tribute at a very special place [Music] the French Creek saloon is the place to be for incredible fun and entertainment experience some incredible dancing by the Wranglers [Music] songs performed by the ranch staff [Music] and see many of the surprises we promised earlier [Music] [Music] as the staffs creatively certainly knows no bounds sometimes it gets messy every dude ranch has its own personality clay offers his thoughts on what's special about Paradise ranch we have this discussion quite often my wife and I about what might be unique or special about Paradise ranch and what's truly compelling to people and and what would bring them here and you know sometimes we talk about you know just the beauty of the surrounding area and at other times we talk about the varied riding terrain at Paradise not only do you get to ride on nice forested trails but you also get the opportunity to ride in open glades on the Mesa through wildflower strewn meadows and really open up with your horseback riding a little bit but ultimately what we care about here is creating an experience that's going to compel people to come back to us we don't want people to come it's it's great if they come one time but ultimately what we're trying to do is get people to come back and give them a reason to come back and what there's two things that do that that produce that at this ranch one of those things is a chemistry that develops amongst the guests and the good friends that they make many times they make lifelong friends from their single week that they spend here at the ranch every year and over and above that our crew our I believe are very special they're a group we we take go to great lengths to find the right crew the crew that are going to totally fit in but at this ranch we hire them for one reason attitude attitude attitude and we try and find people that truly care about taking care of others when you create that environment then the chemistry can develop then people find the friends want to come back and see their friends again next year and that's something that's been I think very special at this you'll arrange if you're ready to get in touch with your inner cowboy if you're ready to spend time reconnecting with nature and simple values if you're ready for the most relaxing and enjoyable vacation of your life that you'll be talking about for the rest of your life well then partner we'll see you at the corral at paradise ranch what's the best dude ranch in North America [Music] you
