Elkin Creek Guest Ranch Magazine Articles

"Still chopping, stirring and simmering pots of delicious food but far from civilization at the Elkin Creek Guest Ranch in the Chicotin region of B.C., Chef David recalls the summer of '02 like it was only yesterday. As he creates roast duck pate for the wranglers and guests at the sprawling ranch, he spills the beans about being behind the scenes with Mick."

"'Tracy, you're next!' Dave Milne, owner of Elkin Creek Guest Ranch yelled, one foot up on a bale of hay. My cowgirl cohorts – some of whom were wearing their very own pair of chaps, and others who had only slightly more equestrian experience than I – had already tried their hand at 'cutting' the jostling, mooring, frightened herd of cattle in front of us."

"Cruising at 16,000 feet, our twin-engine King Air 100 aircraft is carrying important cargo: organic greens, Jerusalem artichokes, fresh blueberries and tomatoes, black sesame seeds, exotic sea salt, and avocados. We're flying to Elkin Creek Guest Ranch, set in the beautiful Chilcotin Caribou country of British Columbia, for a three-day Cowgirl Boot Camp."
Soar
"It's a long, dusty ride on dirt roads en route to the Elkin Creek Guest Ranch, and the first thing I do when I arrive is tear off my clothes, pull on a swimsuit and head down the dirt track to Vedan Lake. Here, in the blistering hot sun, I succumb to the cold, clear water, splashing and diving in blissful isolation before stretching out to dry on the floating dock."
TTG Knowledge
"Meet the forces behind the horses: the staff at Elkin Creek Guest Ranch."
"Horses and cattle are not Ian's only responsibility on the ranch. He has to make sure all essential equipment, such as the irrigation system and generator, is in working order and that the lodges and cabins are properly maintained."

"'I can see this is going to work,' Linda Dove said as she struggled to throw her lasso around a bale of hay. 'When's happy hour?' She and eight other women were trying out their roping techniques during Elkin Creek Guest Ranch's Cowgirl Bootcamp, part of a growing trend toward girlfriend getaways."
Western Living
"I expect to find cowboys at the Elkin Creek Guest Ranch. I expect to find log cabins. Most of all I expect wild horses that many people believe are direct descendants of the Spanich conquistadors' mustangs. What I don't expect to find in this Nemaiah Valley outpost, in central B.C.'s Chilcotin region...is Mick Jagger's one-time personal chef."
