Welcome to Gordon's Guide to Cattle Drives and Working Ranches.
We have a listing of the finest cattle drives in North America. Steeped in the western tradition of the cowboy,
each working cattle ranch is unique with its own distinct character.
Working ranches, or more specifically working cattle ranches that offer cattle drives are usually
family-owned and operated, with the primary objective of offering its guests a Western experience.
Cattle drive operators host guests from all around the world,
catering to people who want a hands on experience that takes them inside the life on a ranch and the great outdoors.
Horseback riding is a part of every cattle drive and working ranch vacation and accommodations vary from rustic to luxurious.
Other activities include swimming, fishing,

hiking,
wildlife viewing,
sightseeing, and much more. Food is always bountiful and hearty and in some cases, gourmet.
