All the guys helping us get on our horses were friendly and informative. $40 per person cash only for 1hr. And don't forget to tip your guide. Ours did an amazing job. Levi was our guide that day and he was great! He gave wonderful direction, kept us all together and a good steady pace. If you are a beginner don't worry! You can do this. A young boy was on a horse by himself and he did great and they kept him at the front with the guide. Their horses are well kept, calm, and well trained. This isn't a fast moving horseback ride. You are going up a beautiful trail, that can be steep at certain parts. But don't worry, your guide will stop to let you know about each section and how to prepare for it. For example whether you need to lean back or front, move your legs up to not get scratched by rocks, and more. It made our experience safe and comfortable. These horses are amazing and know the trail. Levi even took pictures for each family at the top. They are amazing! I really loved my horse Cheyenne and trusted her. She was beautiful, sweet and loved snacking here and there on our way up the trail during our stops. Very sweet! Even Levi mentioned that he would trust his 3 year old around any of the horses. Bathroom available on site. Overall I had an amazing experience. It was beautiful!

    I found the Double Diamond X Ranch when searching for a fly fishing guide service for when we were…read morein Cody. I called them and worked with Jenine to book a 4 hour fishing trip. Their rates for a guided 4 hour trip was well in the range for guided trip. I was very happy with our guide as well. He was very patient and worked the River very thoroughly. He also showed my wife how to cast. We had our 3 children with us and they had a great time exploring the river bank and looking at all of the elk and dear tracks. The River was also a private section, and we had more tha a mile of undisturbed fishing. We caught around 10 fish with a nice 14" cutthroat as the prime catch. I would highly suggest the Double Diamond for a single or family fishing adventure. It did take about 45 minutes to get their from Cody, but the drive was picturesque.

I'm very unfamiliar with Wyoming, but the scenic sights overlooking the South Fork Valley were breathtaking every step of the way. Our guide introduced us to flora of region sharing their homeopathic uses and spoke of the remote wilderness within the Thorofare beyond the mountains in their backyard. Despite being late in the season nearing Mid-September when rides start to become unavailable in the region, the hosts were incredibly accommodating and cordial. We were able to make our reservation earlier that same day. My only regret was not scheduling more time to dine, drink, and explore the South Fork from the quaint and peaceful Double Diamond X Ranch. During my next visit to Wyoming, this Ranch will be high on my list of places to visit.

    My wife and I spent a week at Crossed Sabres Ranch in Mid- August (2025) which was one of their…read more"adult" weeks (no children). We evaluated over 100 ranches and determined that we were interested in a full service guest ranch close to Yellowstone National Park. We then narrowed our list down to three and Crossed Sabres came out on top. Our phone conversation with Owner Kenny Long sealed the decision for us. Our trip was everything we had hoped it would be and more. We rode horses into the surrounding Absoroka Mountains every day, we did a full day tour of Yellowstone, we learned how to fly fish and how to squared dance, we shot skeet, and I white-water rafted. We even traveled into Cody one evening for the rodeo. All of that was awesome. But it was the people who made it special. Kenny, Laura, and Garrett Long do a great job with their ranch and they have a wonderful crew of wranglers and staff that made our stay so enjoyable. The food and the service was top notch. The other guests were amazing and we made some great friends. It was without a doubt one of our best vacations ever! We highly recommend Crossed Sabres Ranch!!!

    Magnificent week. Kenny and Laura were excellent hosts. We met some lovely people, rode our…read morepersonal assigned horses for the week to our heart's content, tried fly fishing for the first time which was unbelievably cool, ate very well all week and had comfortable sleeping accommodations. What sets this ranch apart from others I have been to Is the variety of activities available both on the ranch and off . We loved the all inclusive nature of unlimited horse back riding, fly fishing . BB gun shooting , hiking , and down time just playing games ( fooseball , Pool, chess etc) at the ranch. We equally enjoyed all the included outings off site - the full day trip to Yellowstone, an afternoon of white water rafting, rodeo in Cody. Loved the variety of riding trails and customization of each ride to each riders level. Ranch is small enough that our kids could explore and meander about with little supervision. The independence they were given at the ranch can't be duplicated in our big urban city and was a priceless experience for them to have. Amazingly refreshing for the whole family to be in a place where there is no cell / internet service ( except for in an emergency situation - it's available in the lodge but none of the guests seemed to use it ). We unplugged and bonded, read, relaxed, took part in everything and enjoyed our week at the ranch immensely. Tips: bring a warm parka jacket ( was cold even mid June), despite the forecast saying it was a high of 70, most days felt very cold in the mornings warming up by late afternoon, bring a raincoat, bring a long sleeve swim shirt and or other fast drying clothes for the rafting trip ( you will get wet). Bring a cute western outfit or 2 for the square dance night and final dinner. Come with a good, down to earth attitude ( this isn't the four seasons) and be ready to mingle- this is a very social place. Be aware the overall staff employed is young and inexperienced and green ( many 18-20 years old) so you might not have a typical 5 star service experience at all time. For the most part though. the staff was kind and friendly and accommodating. Additional shout outs to Jayden ( aka skippy) who DOES provide a five star service experience with every interaction and Garett who my kids loved playing pool and bags with and Mary whose food was consistently very good. Overall, a big 5 star experience and memories made that will last a lifetime for us and our children. Highly recommend!!!
