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.

Escape the cold in luxury: Inside the Grand Hyatt Vail experience
The Grand Hyatt Vail is a luxury mountain hideaway

My typical snowboard day begins with drawn-out turns on groomed terrain. I’ll paint sweeping lines across the corduroy-like surface, building g-forces like a race car through corners. Then I’ll change gears. I’ll branch out into steeps and glades, take runs with friends, and maybe even hit the park. But as the day wears on, the cold wears me down. I need somewhere to warm up and recover.

That thaw after the freeze offers a satisfying solace, a time to reflect on the day and prepare for the next one. But the surroundings matter, with extra helpings of luxury and comfort going a long way.
