ABC’s Modern Family — aka the Pritchett-Dunphy clan — saddled up in style for their hour-long season opener airing Wednesday, Sept. 21. And we’ve got a series of photos from the location shoot in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

The set-up: The extended brood takes a summer-ending jaunt to a dude ranch — that is, once Phil’s bid to attend family camp gets outvoted. But looking on the bright side, “Phil decides it will be a chance for him to once again demonstrate to Jay that he is a worthy son-in-law,” says exec producer Christopher Lloyd. “So Phil does a lot of practicing in the driveway — like, shooting a gun and roping things.”

Mitchell and Cameron, meanwhile, see an opportunity to discover their macho side, as they come to terms with the notion of becoming fathers of a boy.

Even Hayley’s rocker beau Dylan goes along for the ride. And P.S. That’s Tim Blake Nelson playing the family’s instructor at the dude ranch. P.P.S. Claire in pigtails again!
