Ride the Range.
Live the Story.
Saddle up for the Adventure of a Lifetime.
Join the Whittakers and the crew for a full week of real ranch life — five days of riding, wrangling, and reconnecting with what matters.
The Great Cattle Drive Experience
This is the complete Timber Creek experience — where every sunrise brings purpose, and every evening ends with laughter around the fire. You’ll saddle up and help move the herd across 20,000 acres of Idaho range, keeping cattle on good grass and learning what it means to work as part of a team.
No two days on the ranch are exactly the same. Weather, cattle movement, and the needs of the land guide each day’s work — and that’s all part of the adventure.
