The award winning Northwest Nebraska High Country  is a group of local farmers and ranchers offering lodging, hunting and  recreation on their beautiful properties in the scenic Pine Ridge area of northwest Nebraska.  Among those are camping, hiking and fossil hunting, hunting and fishing, wildlife watching and photography, bed & breakfast, cabin rentals, horseback riding, guest ranches and working cattle ranch vacations, horse motels, cowboy cook-outs and our own Farmers' Market!  One of our members offers tours of the area as well as airport pick-up service. All members are all located in the rural parts in and around the timbered Pine Ridge area.  Come and enjoy some peace and quiet with some real country people who offer you a taste of the  West, how it was, and how it still is.  Together, we have something for everybody.  We welcome you into our homes, families and hearts!

It is a hidden treasure, with historic Fort Robinson where Lakota Sioux Warrior Crazy Horse was killed, Sidney-Deadwood Stage Coach route ran through this area, several archeological digs are open to the public, and the Black Hills of South Dakota, with famous Mount Rushmore, are within a couple of hours drive, or use our qualified tour guide and his car!

There are numerous places to camp and hike, and several members offer the privacy of their property to you to explore and enjoy.  Either pitch your own tent, stay in an original sheep wagon by yourself, or enjoy the luxury and pampering of a real country bed & breakfast in a beautiful setting.  You can also rent a ranch    and be on your own.  Ask about Cowboy Cook-outs and our Farmers Market for country fresh groceries. 

Wildlife are plentiful in the greater Pine Ridge area of Northwest Nebraska.  You can enjoy watching, photographing or hunting wildlife on members' lands, on your own.  Some offer fishing in their own creek or pond.

The area offers stunning horseback riding trails, winding their way along lush creek bottoms, up through the Ponderosa Pine trees to open grasslands, to meander down hills and canyons.  In addition to some members offering trail riding on their lands, several members offer working cattle ranch vacations and guest ranch vacations, using their ranch horses or bringing your own.  You will also find members offering fine horse motels for travelers.   Now some members are organizing "ranch-to-ranch" rides, a unique opportunity to see the country from your horse and enjoy the hospitality of area ranchers.
