Yellowstone
Discover the Yellowstone Paradise
Only 17 Miles from Yellowstone National Park
Nestled in Northwest Wyoming, 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, 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 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. 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 UXU’s control, such as natural disasters, inclement weather, wildfires, flooding, etc.

That’s why we’ve designed a tour just for UXU guests, taking you deep into the heart of Yellowstone’s southern wonders, from its geothermal marvels to its wild, open landscapes.
Yellowstone’s southern region is home to more than 50% of the world’s geysers—a landscape that’s as rugged and majestic as the West itself. On your UXU tour, you’ll dive into the park’s geothermal heart, from the steam of Old Faithful to the bubbling mud pots and fumaroles. While Old Faithful may steal the show, there are many hidden treasures to uncover in the Upper Geyser Basin, Black Sand Basin, and West Thumb Geyser Basin—places that will leave you in awe.
We’ll take time to visit Lake Yellowstone, where the views are nothing short of breathtaking, and venture into Hayden Valley, a prime spot for spotting wildlife. Keep your eyes peeled for bison, elk, wolves, and bears—Yellowstone’s wildlife will be right there in the wild. You’ll feel the pulse of this incredible place as we explore it together.
Our expert guides are eager to share their insider knowledge, using top-tier wildlife spotting gear and the kind of local tips that unlock Yellowstone’s secrets. From the perfect place to watch Old Faithful erupt to the best spots for wildlife encounters, we’ll make sure your time in the park is nothing short of unforgettable.
And there’s so much more! In addition to your UXU tour, we’re thrilled to offer private, custom tours that explore the Northern Range of Yellowstone, where the land is wild and the wildlife roams free. Or perhaps you’d like to take a scenic drive through the wild horse areas of Wyoming and Montana, where the American West is still alive and untamed.
