We are remotely located 44 miles from the nearest town of Boulder, at the end of the Big Sandy opening road. We are one mile from the Bridger Wilderness boundary in the Bridger-Teton National Forest at 9,100 feet elevation. Due to our remote location, you stay in our log cabins instead of a tent camp. The cabins have wood burning stoves, kerosene lamps and comfortable beds. Linens and towels are furnished.

Start your day with a hot shower followed by a hearty breakfast in the lodge. Your lunch will be packed and dinner served when you return. After you have hunted, relax and enjoy prime trout fishing in the Big Sandy River or at any of the alpine lakes that you are within walking and riding distance of the lodge.

Guided Hunting
Wyoming law requires that non-resident hunters be accomplanied by a licensed Wyoming guide if hunting for big game in any designated wilderness area. We have experienced, licensed guides and operate under State of Wyoming Outfitter License BG 216.
