This was a great experience in a beautiful location, and the food was terrific! I rode a horse for the first time in years.

The program at BBar Ranch was among the tops of our 40 Road Scholar trips. We learned about sustainable, regenerative agriculture from fascinating demonstrations, enjoyed outstanding local food, and stayed in beautiful cabins amidst breathtaking scenery.

We combined this trip with a Yellowstone trip, the best of Yellowstone. Although there was some overlap, doing both helped me to better understand the area. My husband and I have traveled extensively during the past 5 years, and I think our guide, Andrea Saari, was one, if not the best guide we've ever had....and this was one of the very best trips we've taken. The setting was gorgeous, the people at the ranch were helpful and gracious, the farm to table food was spectacular. We saw lots of wildlife thanks to Andrea and the trip organizer Zack Baker. I particularly enjoyed learning about the regenerative ranching practices and the low-stress livestock handling being employed at B Bar Ranch. Someday I would like to do this trip again! One caution, do not plan on having Uber or Lyft pick you up at the ranch. Both companies canceled at the very last minute. Thanks to Zack and Andrea we made it to the airport. Rent your own car if you are lucky enough to go on this trip to B Bar Ranch. Not sure where I get to rate this trip, but I give it 6 stars out of 5!

This trip was very delightful and fun! We learned so much about regenerative ranching and have a new appreciation for those who work hard to provide food for others. Our instructor was very knowledgeable about Yellowstone NP and was a delight to listen to her experiences. She took us to places in the park many people do not regularly access which was a plus. Highly recommend this tour.

The BBar Ranch program was outstanding! Trina, the ranch manager, was as lovely as the ranch and the surrounding area were beautiful. The beauty of the area brought me to tears at times. And the wildlife-oh my goodness! One night we saw 16 bears, including two sets of mamas & their cubs in a nearby field! Our leaders-Louie & Andrea-were incredibly approachable, knowledgeable and a joy to be around. They were genuine, thoughtful and passionate about giving us all a wonderful experience. I learned so much about Yellowstone and the surrounding area, regenerative agriculture and living/co-existing with nature. Our Road Scholar and B Bar Ranch experts/leaders/guides shared fascinating stories and information that I will incorporate into my life moving forward. I was fortunate to share this trip with my Mom, sister and daughter and would highly recommend it to others.

The B Bar Ranch program combines knowledge of organic, regenerative, and low-stress farming while taking in the natural beauty of its surroundings and Yellowstone National Park. I would recommend this program to all ages.
