Timeline

  1. 10:00

    Terry Bison Ranch

    Drive the self-guided tour through the herd of more than 2,000 bison. Keep your vehicle moving for safety, but slow down to spot the longhorn steer, camels, llamas, ostriches, emus, peacocks, and the rare turkins and beefalo.

  2. 10:45

    Check the route for the nearest food or drink shop. The ranch is located 7 miles south of Cheyenne off I-25, so you will need to head back toward town or stop at the first available exit for lunch.

  3. 11:15

    Eat a casual lunch or grab a snack. Since no specific shops are listed in the immediate vicinity, use the route check to find the closest option in Cheyenne or along the I-25 corridor before heading back.

Local tip

The ranch is open for drive-through tours, but hours are not specified in the local data. Check the route and confirm opening times before you go to avoid arriving when the gates are closed.

Check before you go

  • Verify the ranch’s current opening hours as they are not provided in the local context.
  • Plan your return route to Cheyenne for dining, as the ranch is 7 miles south off I-25 and no on-site food is listed.
