Call of the West Director's Cut

"The spirit of the West endures not as a postcard, but as a mirror, showing us what America once was—and what it still hopes to be." In this feature-length documentary from Wyoming PBS, directed by Mat Hames of Alpheus Media, we journey across seven iconic ranches over the course of a single year to discover why the American Dude Ranch remains a cornerstone of Western identity. From the legendary Eaton’s Ranch in Wyoming to the desert vistas of Arizona and the shores of Montana’s Flathead Lake, we explore a way of life that prioritizes tradition, hard work, and deep connection over the "hustle and bustle" of the modern world. 📜 What You’ll Discover: 👉 A Century of History: Trace the industry's roots back to 1879 with the Eaton family, the Pittsburgh adventurers who pioneered the "Dude" experience. 👉 The Post-War Boom: Hear the stories of WWII veterans who returned home to build legendary lodges like Flathead Lake Lodge and White Stallion Ranch. 👉 The "Hollywood" Effect: Learn how pop culture—from Teddy Roosevelt to City Slickers and Yellowstone—has repeatedly revitalized the image of the American cowboy. 👉 Modern Challenges: A candid look at the "Third Generation" struggle, where families must balance skyrocketing real estate values ($60 million listings) against the desire to preserve their heritage. 👉 The Digital Detox: See how guests from around the world (Germany, the UK, and across the US) find "horse therapy" and a much-needed break from technology in the pristine wilderness. 🐎 Featured Traditions: 👉 The Spring Roundup: Experience the high-energy tradition of trailing 130+ horses through the streets of Sheridan, Wyoming. 👉 The Code of the West: Meet the wranglers and ranch owners who believe that "the outside of a horse is good for the inside of a man." 👉 Generational Legacy: Meet the families fighting to ensure that the next generation still answers the call of the West. Whether you are a seasoned rider, a history enthusiast, or someone dreaming of a wide-open horizon, this film offers an intimate look at the people who keep the West alive. ... 0:00 - Where the West Begins: The Spirit of the Ranch 1:30 - The Cycle of the Year: Spring Gates Open 2:44 - Raising Appaloosa Horses in the High Country 3:21 - The 38-Mile Roundup: A Yearly Tradition 5:32 - Moving the Herd: Tradition over Efficiency 6:18 - The Sheridan Horse Drive: A Community Celebration 9:03 - The Hard Work and Heart of the Wrangler 10:20 - Passing Down Western Work Ethics 11:42 - What Defines a Real Dude Ranch? 12:54 - White Stallion Ranch: 60 Years of Preservation 14:10 - First-Time Riders: Overcoming Fear in the Saddle 17:12 - The Bond Between Horse and Human 19:34 - "The Outside of a Horse is Good for the Inside of a Man" 21:18 - History of the Eatens: The Birth of the Dude Ranch 24:25 - Where Does the Word "Dude" Come From? 27:23 - The Leap of Faith: Trading the City for the Ranch 28:21 - Restoring History at Bar Lazy J 30:51 - The Internet Detox: Life Without a Signal 33:50 - Giving Kids the Freedom of the West 35:40 - Therapy in Nature: Why We Need to Slow Down 37:02 - The Business of Hospitality: A Labor of Love 40:51 - Marketing the West: The First Dude Ranchers Association 42:27 - Traveling by Stagecoach: The Early Guest Experience 43:14 - Larry Larom: The "George Washington" of Dude Ranches 43:28 - The Post-World War II Ranching Boom 43:55 - Flathead Lake Lodge: From WWII Bombers to Family Vacations 45:36 - The Golden Age: Airstrips and Centennial Trains 47:17 - Marketing Montana: The 25-Car Centennial Train 48:35 - "If These Walls Could Talk": History of the Cabins 49:26 - Timed Events: Learning to Work Cattle 50:32 - The Challenge: Battling Disney and Cruises for Relevancy 52:03 - The "City Slickers" Effect: How Movies Saved the Industry 53:05 - The "Yellowstone" Wave: Making Cowboys Cool Again 54:23 - The Succession Struggle: Who Will Take the Reins? 55:31 - The "Third Generation" Challenge: Preserving the Legacy 58:03 - Why They Keep Coming Back: A Global Attraction 1:00:34 - Small Town Rituals and the American Beginning 1:01:20 - The West as an Idea: Finding What Lasts 1:01:42 - Final Thoughts: What Does Legacy Really Mean? ...
