Y-O Ranch
Out on the open prairie, Y-O Ranch offers big horizons, quiet nights, and an unfussy, ranch-forward way of life in Niobrara County. Residents prize room to roam, frequent pronghorn sightings, and quick access to public lands. Weekends often mean exploring the rolling breaks and bird-rich draws of the Thunder Basin National Grassland, managed by the U.S. Forest Service at Thunder Basin National Grassland. History lovers make easy day trips to the storied trails and parade grounds at Fort Laramie National Historic Site and the ancient bone beds and walking paths at Agate Fossil Beds National Monument. Daily conveniences are a straight shot up US‑85 in Lusk, where you’ll find civic services, local shops, and community events supported by the Town of Lusk.
Families appreciate small class sizes and a close-knit school community through Niobrara County School District #1 in Lusk, with after-school activities that pull the whole county together. A popular gathering place for learning and programs, the Niobrara County Library offers everything from early literacy to history talks. Living rural doesn’t mean going without: county resources are well organized, and road updates and winter-driving guidance from the Wyoming Department of Transportation help keep travel predictable when the weather changes.
