     Welcome to Rafter Y Ranch in Banner, Wyoming.  Located on Little Piney Creek at the foot of the magnificent Big Horn Mountains and Bighorn National Forest, the Rafter Y is one of the few working ranches which accommodate a small number of guests.  For over 70 years, guests have come to enjoy beautiful open country and the same family's hospitality.

     The ranch is in the very heart of the country so often mentioned in the tales of the western author Owen Wister, a country rich in its history of frontier days and Indian lore, historic sites, Fort Phil Kearny, the Wagon Box Fight, and the Fetterman Fight are all close by.  The Bozeman Trail passes the ranch, and the Battle of the Little Big Horn, where Custer met his demise, took place just north, in Montana.

Here, if you enjoy the fun of the outdoors, you may spend a happy, never to be forgotten vacation.  Riding is the main activity and we take great pride in helping our guests become competent horsemen.  Guided flyfishing trips are available, and children can fish the creek or swimming hole.  Guests also enjoy hiking, mountain biking, and tennis on the ranch court.

     The beautiful Big Horn Mountains and Bighorn National Forest are just minutes away.  Here you can see endless scenic vistas and many species of wildlife.  Wildlife in the area include Pronghorn antelope, mule deer, whitetailed deer, moose, elk, wild turkeys and many upland game birds.

     Pleasant sleeping accommodations for up to twenty in cabins with running water, excellent meals served family style with fresh vegetables and eggs from the ranch, all contribute to the comfort of our guests.

     For more on what we have to offer, please visit our other pages on this web site or contact us for more information.
