Nevada's Historic 71 Ranch
The authentic working cowboy vacation experience.

Discover one of the best kept secrets of the American West, the Great Basin of northeastern Nevada far reaching sagebrush prairies, the rugged Ruby Mountains, deep, lush meadows, and meandering willow lined creeks. This is an historic western region, steeped in the traditions of the vaqueros and Great Basin buckaroos. Real cowboys still earn a wage fulltime in the saddle. The large ranches of Elko County are a vital part of the American cattle industry. Experience the intimate workings of a true historic landmark in this country’s wild and illustrious ranching, past and present.
Scenery Adventure History

Scenery. . . Adventure. . . History
The 71 Ranch is in the authentic heart of the real West!

Imagine the freedom of riding your horse over 38,000 acres of privately owned ranchland, driving cattle across the open range under endless blue skies with the scent of sagebrush drifting up from each stride your horse takes. As deer and antelope scatter across the trail in front of you, you look up to follow an eagle or red tailed hawk soaring overhead. The resounding soft call of a mother to her calf echoes nearby. The deliberate, quiet movement of your horse awakens the sage that reaches out desperately grabbing for your legs, begging you, then quickly slipping behind you silent and still. As you move towards the small group of cows grazing, their calves, doing their best to hide from you despite your lofty vantage point, break and run at the approach of your horse. The saddle creaks as you turn your horse’s head to start the next bunch moving. Above the shaded brim of your hat the blueness of the early morning sky fights away the gray of the dawn and you’re right where you want to be, surrounded by the peace and quiet somewhere in the middle of a vast prairie in the clearest air that Nevada has to offer. Somewhere, the song of a meadowlark drifts into the distance. Your horse points out the small group of deer grazing on the next hillside before your eye catches them.
