Dude Ranches Offer an Oasis of Western Tradition in a Turbulent World

history dude ranches 2 feature

An hour and a half south from Bozeman, Mont., surrounded by millions of acres of national forest, Nine Quarter Circle Ranch has endured for more than a century. First homesteaded in the 1890s as a working cattle farm, it joined a growing number of properties across the West when, in 1912, it welcomed its first guest. It’s here, on one of the surprisingly younger dude ranches in the U.S., that Kameron Kelsey was born and raised.

“I had an absolute great childhood,” the 32-year-old tells The Manual. Breaking and training horses on the 1,000-acre ranch, fly-fishing its multiple rivers, Kelsey, like his father and his father’s father, relished the life, and despite the younger's square-on Millennial status, he’s never wanted more than its loosely delineated borders — and that despite a five-year hiatus while studying at Cal Poly in Southern California. “Seeing a different way of life, that was cool,” he says, “but it ain’t as cool as what I’ve got.”

I ran 96 miles in the La Sportiva Prodigio Max—here’s how it held up

La Sportiva Prodigio Max

It was around 7:00 a.m. on July 4th, and I didn’t feel like going on a 23+ mile trail run (with over 4,000 ft. of climbing). I’d been training hard for an ultramarathon, running around 50 miles a week, and my body and feet ached. But it was my first run in the La Sportiva Prodigio Max, and I hoped its extra cushion would get me through.

The first few steps told me I was right. Over subsequent mountain runs, I discovered a shoe that blended comfort and mountain performance like few others. Here’s how I tested the Prodigio Max, and how it performed in Shenandoah National Park’s most demanding conditions.
