About the ranch
Idaho's Red Horse Mountain Ranch is known for its all-inclusive dude ranch vacations, including an extensive list of guided adventures, well appointed accommodations, first rate western hospitality, and a famous Kids Program for ages 3 and up. Located on 560 deeded acres, with over 300,000 acres of outfitter area, the ranch is a perfect location for a western dude ranch vacation. Full service, all-inclusive, week long dude ranch vacations are available from May through October.
Red Horse Mountain Ranch is tucked away on a private road 5 miles off Highway 97 at the foothills of the Coeur d'Alene Mountains, surrounded by Idaho Panhandle National Forest, BLM lands and private property. The ranch is situated at the base of Red Horse Mountain, with seasonal Blue Lake Creek running through the heart of the valley.

When to go
Our favorite times at the ranch include June when the scenery is exploding with every shade of green, mid July when the kids program is rolling full steam ahead, and September when the valley is quiet, peaceful and ablaze with fall color. You really can't go wrong though.
Why we love it
- The ranch embraces high adrenaline, adventure-based activities; from horseback riding and zip-lining, to their signature climbing wall, all set on a 300,000 acre playground. They also offer endless adventure opportunities for children: kayak, archery, horse riding, bike riding and even plinking – horseback riding for three-year-olds
- Enjoy rustic elegance in the gorgeous outdoors of Idaho
- Tuck into a carefully executed seven-course dinner for adults only, the ranch will take care of the children!
- Relax in the evening at the Old West Saloon or under the stars with a campfire. You can also enjoy specialty wine tasting weeks and girls’ getaways
What to consider
- The activities are scheduled, however it keeps everything running very smoothly and you'll love their outdoor activity menu
