Description Nestled in the scenic Pine Ridge of Northwestern Nebraska, this 3600 acre, working cattle ranch and guest ranch is family owned and operated. It offers numerous activities: mule deer, white tail deer, and merriam turkey hunting, horseback riding, horse motel, hiking, and railroad photography. It is close to the Wyoming border just south of the Black Hills of South Dakota. The ranch boasts of a rugged beauty in its diversity; spectacular views in every direction, open rolling grass meadows, steep hills, ridges studded with Ponderosa pine trees, canyons with Green Ash, Hackberry and Cottonwood lining the creek bottoms. This makes a challenging terrain for the hunter, but a haven for deer and turkey. Directions: The Ponderosa Ranch is located in the Northwest part of the Panhandle of Nebraska. We are approximately 30 miles east of the Wyoming border (Hwy 20), and 30 miles south of the South Dakota border (Hwy 2/71) and the Black Hills, and 9 miles south of Crawford. Several airports are within relatively close proximity to the ranch. Chadron Airport is 30 miles, Alliance Airport is 60 miles, and Scottsbluff Airport is 75 miles. United Express flies daily between Denver, Colorado, and these airports. We highly recommend that you rent a car to allow you to visit some of the many interesting sites and activities in the area. If you choose not to rent a car, we can pick you up, at no charge, from Chadron, Scottsbluff or Alliance Airports. Rapid City Airport, South Dakota is about 120 miles from the ranch, however you would have to rent a car to get to the ranch. Amenities  Our cozy, comfortable cabin has a bedroom with 4 twin beds, and a living area with a futon that makes into a double bed. It also has a kitchen with dishes and a bathroom. Linens are provided, but no housekeeping. A telephone and gas grill are available at the main house. The kitchen has a stove, oven, microwave, and small refrigerator. The cabin has both heat and air conditioning. Activities and Attractions Because our ranch is a cattle ranch and not a dude ranch, we do require that guests have some prior riding experience. We do not ride nose to tail, but spread out when the terrain allows and you need to be able to control your horse at a trot or canter outside of an arena. Our horses are very gentle working ranch horses, but they are not dude horses. You are welcome to bring your own horses. You will ride, help round up and drive the cattle herd of 200- 300 cows and calves, plus bulls, to new pastures. Also join us as we ride through the herd daily to check on them. Then we make a circle checking and repairing fences or just enjoying seeing all the wonderful wildlife on the ranch - mule deer, white tail deer, wild turkey, coyotes, eagles and hawks, porcupines, raccoons, and many others. Even elk and mountain lion have been seen on the ranch.
