Pitchfork Ranch is one of the most iconic and historically significant ranches in the American West.

Founded in 1878 and encompassing over 96,000 acres near Meeteetse, Wyoming, this operational cattle ranch runs 1,300 mother cows and includes irrigated hay meadows, private trout fisheries, and world-class big game hunting.

The ranch lies within the critical winter range of the famed Cody Elk Herd and features 6+ miles of the Greybull River plus multiple mountain tributaries.

With its rich cultural legacy—home to Charles Belden’s photography and Marlboro Man ad campaigns—the Pitchfork blends working heritage with natural beauty.

Set beneath the towering Absaroka Mountains near Meeteetse, Wyoming, the Pitchfork Ranch is one of the most historic and iconic working ranches in the Rocky Mountain West.

Featuring many of Belden’s most famous photographs, interviews with his granddaughter and Belden historians, a restoration of his darkroom, and a movie made by Belden: “Where West is Still West”.

The Pitchfork’s renown reaches far beyond its fences. In the early 20th century, Charles Belden’s evocative photography of ranch life brought national attention to the property through features in Life and National Geographic.

Decades later, the ranch became the setting for Marlboro’s iconic cowboy campaigns.

Today, the same rugged terrain, historic barns, and sweeping vistas remain untouched and timeless.

With over six miles of private Greybull River frontage and additional mountain tributaries, the ranch offers one of Wyoming’s finest native trout fisheries for Yellowstone cutthroat trout.

It also lies within the critical winter range for the famed Cody Elk Herd, offering landowner-eligible big game tags across multiple trophy units.

Wyoming's Ceepiest Pet Cemetery

The writing on the stones shows that these people loved their pets so much that they wanted to take special care of them when they died.

Yet, approaching this place looks like something out of a Stephen King novel.
