This isn’t just a sightseeing tour – it’s an experience that puts you right in the heart of Yellowstone’s wild beauty and cowboy culture. Here’s a taste of what you can expect during this six-night adventure:

  • Sunset Cattle Drive: Channel your inner cowboy (or cowgirl) on a cattle drive inspired by Yellowstone’s Travis Wheatley. Learn the history of cattle ranching, test your rodeo skills, and then unwind with a cold drink under the Montana sunset.
  • Rafts and Rodeos: Start your day gliding along the Snake River on a scenic raft ride. In the evening, head to the iconic Jackson Hole Rodeo. Black Tomato takes you behind the scenes for an exclusive look at how the riders prepare for the big show.
  • Private Cowboy for a Day: Live out your ranching fantasies at a private ranch in Jackson Hole. Meet wranglers who’ll share the history of the area, witness a horse whisperer demonstration, and then saddle up yourself! With expert guidance, you’ll catch, halter, groom, and ride a performance horse, channeling your inner Kayce Dutton.
  • Dinner Experience: End your day with an intimate meal at the renowned Snake River Grill, dining alongside one of Jackson Hole’s founding families. Hear their stories about the region’s evolution, learning about how the area has developed over time.

To book this trip, you can submit an inquiry on the Black Tomato website. This experience is available from June to October.

Mesa Verde: The Civilization That Never Vanished
Peter Horan

Twenty years after my first visit, I went back to Mesa Verde National Park in southwestern Colorado. Most national parks celebrate what nature built. This one celebrates what people built more than 700 years ago, in stone, beneath the overhanging cliffs.

The setting helps. The name is Spanish for “green table,” and the park is a forested plateau above the Four Corners, cut by deep canyons with mountains in the distance. But scenery isn’t the reason to come. At most historic sites, you have to imagine what once stood there. Here, entire villages are still tucked under enormous rock alcoves.
