Yellowstone

Discover the Yellowstone Paradise

Only 17 Miles from Yellowstone National Park

Nestled in Northwest Wyoming, The UXU Ranch is your gateway to one of the world’s most iconic natural wonders. Located a mere 17 miles from the East Gate of Yellowstone National Park, the ranch provides unparalleled access to this vast, untamed wilderness. Bordering the south bank of the pristine Shoshone River, a blue-ribbon trout fishing destination, The UXU Ranch is conveniently situated off the scenic highway that President Teddy Roosevelt famously declared “the most scenic 50 miles in America.” With its heavily forested, mountainous setting at the confluence of June Creek and the North Fork of the Shoshone River, the ranch offers a perfect blend of rustic charm and wild adventure.

Your Adventure Awaits

Step outside the ranch, and you’ll find yourself surrounded by the largest roadless area in our region of the United States, where exploration knows no bounds. The call of the wilderness beckons—whether it’s hiking through lush trails, mountain biking across rugged terrain, or simply soaking in the serenity of the landscape. This is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts seeking solitude and connection with nature.

Immerse Yourself in Wildlife and Wonder

The wilderness around The UXU Ranch teems with life. It’s not unusual to spot buffalo grazing in the distance, elk moving gracefully through the forest, or foxes darting among the trees. Keep your camera ready for possible glimpses of bears, wolves, marmots, and the magnificent trumpeter swans that grace this region. For the truly adventurous, tales of the elusive sasquatch add an air of mystery to your journey.

The beauty of this wild landscape will inspire and captivate you, leaving you with memories to last a lifetime. The UXU Ranch is not just a place to stay—it’s a doorway to adventure, where nature’s wonder unfolds right at your doorstep.

The availability of activities is subject to change due to conditions outside of The UXU’s control, such as natural disasters, inclement weather, wildfires, flooding, etc.
