The Wrangle Photo Exhibit
The Wrangle
100 years of Dude Ranching, 1926 - 2026
A photography exhibit by Scott T. Baxter
On many dude ranches in the small hours of the morning, horses are gathered from their pastures and driven to ranch headquarters during a daily ritual often called “The Wrangle.” Ranch guests gather to listen to pounding hooves and watch their vacation companions arrive to the ranch for the day’s activities, repeating a tradition that has been in existence for decades.
This selection of images by Scott T. Baxter captures the landscapes and people of historic dude ranches that have existed for a century or longer and carry on such traditions.
In celebration of dude ranching’s 100th year, Scott traveled over 20,000 miles across the American West to photograph the dude ranches that have been around since the beginning to create the companion book to this collection, 100 Years of Dude Ranching.
