A True Working Bison Ranch, Not Just a Pretty Backdrop
Lucky 8 Ranch is a family-owned American bison ranch in the Trout Creek Valley, about 35 minutes from Steamboat Springs. The ceremony lawn looks out over layered mountain ranges; the reception site sits in a private pocket of the ranch where the tent glows at night and the stars feel close. We only host a limited number of weddings each season—one event per week—so the land never feels overused, and your celebration has room to breathe.
