The Triple R Ranch is located within the 27,766 acre Norbeck Wildlife Preserve, 3 miles from the 10,700 acre Black Elk Wilderness Area, and in the middle of the Black Hills National Forest. We center the activities around lots of horseback riding into the scenic back country. This is an area which abounds with Western history. The mile-high elevation assures crystal clear, cool evenings in which to sit back, smell the fresh pine-scented air, listen to the peace and quiet, gaze at the never-ending stars, and get that "down home" feeling. Relax and experience an unforgettable adventure in a leisurely western atmosphere.

ACTIVITIES!

What can take place during your stay at the Triple R Ranch?

Sunday or Day of Arrival: Guests should plan to arrive after 3:30 PM, but before 5:00 PM and make yourselves comfortable in your lodging. A horse orientation and safety program is required. There will be a "get acquainted supper" to meet other guests and ranch crew.

Monday: After your first hearty breakfast, you will take a ride on a horse chosen especially for you by our experienced wranglers. Eat lunch and enjoy another ride into the beautiful back country followed by a home cooked supper & cowboy poetry.

Tuesday: After breakfast, pack your own lunch to be taken with you and eaten on the trail.  After returning to the ranch, you have time to get ready to go to the enjoyable evening's Cowboy Supper & Show off the ranch.

Wednesday: Another adventurous day! This morning's quiet ride may afford you the opportunity to see many forms of wildlife in their natural habitat, and a ride to Eagle Rock is slated for the afternoon. Everyone will enjoy this evening's lighting ceremony at Mt. Rushmore National Memorial.

Thursday: An exciting day ahead! By now, you will be "seasoned" for the all-day ride to the Spokane Ghost Town with a delicious picnic served on the trail.

Friday: This day winds up your last full day at the Triple "R". After breakfast you will ride to the breathtaking "Grande View" vantage point where you can see Mount Rushmore and the distant Dakota Badlands. A trip by ranch vehicle in the afternoon takes you to the Crazy Horse Memorial. Tonight's "Going Away Party" includes a hearty South Dakota steak supper.

Saturday or Day of Departure: After breakfast fond farewells are exchanged with new-found friends with promises of meeting again, adding the finishing touch to your Triple "R" Vacation!
