HISTORIC REESOR RANCH
2011 Cypress Hills Adventure Package 
Join us for a traditional Western Canadian
Ranch experience!
"Cowboy Comfort" with atmosphere and western
hospitality! Enjoy the history and heritage of our 5th generation ranch
homesteaded in 1904.
Customized for your enjoyment with your choice
of traditional ranch activities such as cattle drives, cattle herd health checks
and brandings. Activities are set at a comfortable pace so that you can also enjoy guided
hiking and horseback riding excursions on our land and into the Cypress Hills
Wilderness Area with cultural, historical and nature interpretation.
Take in the simple pleasures of forest and prairies
filled with unique alpine flowers and wildlife. Diverse terrain will keep
you anticipating what you'll see next at every hill crest and around every bend
in the trail.
Rising 4,000 feet above sea level the Cypress Hills are the highest point
between the Canadian Rockies in the West and Labrador in the East. The ranch stands at an elevation of 4,175 ft
and the view to the north spans 50 miles.
Step back in time with us, learn about the tragic
Cypress Hills Massacre which led to the forming of the North West Mounted Police
force and the historic March West in 1874. Travel the same trails used by
the First Nations people and pioneers of yesterday.
The Cypress Hills are unique. They hold many Indian legends and historic sites. Discover the buffalo wallows formed by thousands of
buffalo that freely roamed these hills in times past.
The smell of coffee brewing and bacon frying is a real
treat after a full night’s rest in our comfy beds. Tasty home cooked
meals await you! After a day filled with fresh air and the great outdoors
relax on the shaded veranda with a cool drink looking out over the panoramic
landscape of the Cypress Hills. Beef steak never tasted better especially in
such a setting. Meals are prepared for all dietary requests.
Top off the evenings with cozy campfires, swapping
stories and some Cowboy Poetry with your hosts. Listen to
the lonely coyote's howl and enjoy the incredible peace and quiet of life on
this historic ranch.
Let the wide open spaces, cool breezes and lovely sunsets rejuvenate and refresh
you. Before a well deserved night's sleep enjoy a relaxing hot bath in our
antique bathtub in the spacious ranchhouse bathroom.

GUEST COMMENTS:
Your hospitality not only meets but, exceeds that of
our great state of Texas. Please continue to pass to others the rich
tradition and family heritage that we all can only envy. You have
provided me not only with the grandeur of your country but a real live first
hand rodeo! Your
friend, Trae Fowler, Fort Worth, Texas
What is unique about this place is that you treat
your guests in the same way you treat your land and animals. I feel that
this is where your souls are. This is my third visit and each time I see
more beauty - in your ranch and in your family. I feel so privileged
that you consider me a friend. I plan to come back again soon so make sure
you leave me some 'chores'. P.S. Diane - don't you be going losing Scott
on any more trails! Thanks for everything. Bonnie Thorn, Toronto,
Ontario
