Book Signing w/ Scott T. Baxter

In celebration of the centennial of the Dude Ranchers’ Association, the DRA, Ranch Preservation Foundation and the Dude Ranch Foundation have collaborated on a book project to commemorate the 100th anniversary. The photo-driven, coffee table-style book is titled 100 Years of Dude Ranching: Celebrating the Centennial of the Dude Ranchers’ Association.
With photographs by award-winning photographer Scott T. Baxter, who will be signing copies of this book during the event, this book explores modern dude ranching at these historic ranches as captured over the course of a year; paired with historic information to see how each ranch has changed over a century. A history of the DRA and dude ranching written by historian Lynn Downey chronicles the story of dude ranches — the West’s first destination vacation.
Local ranches featured in the book include:
Blackwater Creek Lodge & Guest Ranch
Crossed Sabres Ranch
The Hideout Lodge & Guest Ranch
Rimrock Ranch
Shoshone Lodge and Guest Ranch
