What to Bring to T Cross Ranch
Ranch attire is casual, but skirts, collared shirts, vests
or jackets are encouraged at dinner. T-shirts, shorts, and
athletic attire are not worn at dinner, and all hats come off
in the dining room. The temperature can vary 40 degrees from
day to night so clothing to layer works best. Drinking lots
of water will help avoid dehydration and headache in our high
altitude and low humidity conditions.
- Blue jeans or riding pants
- Cowboy or other riding boots, with
heel and smooth soles
- Sturdy shoes for hiking
- Water bottle with attached lid
- Long sleeve shirts
- Leather or cotton gloves
- Sun screen
- Chap stick
|
- Insect repellent
- Flashlight
- Fly fishing gear
- Parka, vest, or sweatshirt for cool
evenings and high country riding

- Windbreaker or slicker (no ponchos)
- Hat – cowboy hats are encouraged

Other options are old tennis shoes, shorts, and t-shirt for
creek walking, fishing, tubing, or mud sports and swim suit
for the hot tub. Our ranch store has several styles of T Cross
brand shirts, vests, and jackets, plus great water bottles.
T Cross does not have a liquor license but guests can bring
their own beverages. Cabins have a designated refrigerator
compartments on the kitchen porch. Soft drinks, beer, and wine
can be bought in Dubois but Jackson and Moose stores have more
selection. There is no smoking inside our facilities. Also,
we cannot accommodate pets.
If you have booked a wilderness pack trip…
T Cross supplies all camp gear and tents, food, riding and
pack horses, wranglers, and guides. Each rider should bring
a small duffle with personal gear that a pack horse will carry.

- Your saddle bags will hold what you need during the day
on the trail, eg, water bottle, sun screen, lunch, and snacks.
- Overnight camps are at high altitudes, so nights
and mornings can be below freezing in the middle of
the summer. Bring warm jackets, gloves, and a knit
cap.
- The wind blows energetically on the high plateaus.
A stampede string on your cowboy hat avoids dismounts
to chase hats across the mountains.
