Join the crew of Equitrekking as they explore rodeo, wild horses, fly fishing and historic ranches on Wyoming on Horseback. Airing on PBS February 10, 2008.
Put on your boots as Equitrekking begins at UXU Ranch for scenic and challenging riding on surefooted horses in the Shoshone National Forest. We ride by the majestic hoodoos and up to high elevations to take in views of colorful canyons, glaciers and mountain tops. We explore the wildlife and geology of Yellowstone National Park, before heading to the Cody rodeo. At nearby McCullough Peaks, we observe a melting pot of Mustangs and the descendants of horses who were once in Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show. We begin to understand how these horses survive in the wild by speaking with a local who has been observing the horses for many years. We visit the Buffalo Bill Historical Center's Whitney Gallery of Western Art before heading South past the Grand Tetons to Jackson Hole. There, we embark on a pack trip with two locals who have been leading riders into the backcountry for over 25 years. We see the beauty of nature as we ride to Willow Creek in the Bridger Teton National Forest. Finally we go fly fishing and explore dude ranch history at the T Cross Ranch, which has been family owned an operated since it was homesteaded in the early 1900's.
Airs: 6:30 p.m - February 10, 2008 on Wyoming PBS www.wyoptv.org
