Where the Deer
and Antelope Play
by Vera Marie Badertscher
“In Wyoming, the Flying A Ranch provides classic dude ranch experiences tucked
away in a secluded area 50 miles from Jackson Hole and 75 miles from Yellowstone National Park. Log cabins with names of pioneers were part of the original dude ranch in 1929 and have been restored to today's comforts, including Wi-Fi.”

Great Ranch,
Great Service,
Great Vacation!
The entire staff could not have been any better, Keith and Debbie, the wranglers and the kitchen staff were great. The scenery is beyond compare. We saw large elk herds, many moose, deer, etc. The staff was knowledgable about flowers (beautiful!), trees, history and always helpful. The food was exceptional. We will be back many times.

Travel
Having explored the Wind River Country by car for several days, we settled down at the Flying A Ranch to see it on foot and horseback for a week. The ranch accepts only 12 guests at a time, and they are housed in six cozy individual cabins. The cabins are scattered beneath a shelter of pines alongside a pond, where I counted 11 duckling swimming with their parents. Twice we awoke to see a moose browsing outside our cabin window, and every day we took in a wonderful view of the Wind River mountains.

Rustic Luxury on a Wyoming Ranch
by Philip Seib
As your horse trots through the aspen grove, you hear a crackling of branches a few yards away. You turn to see a moose and her calf scrambling up the hillside. Above you, a hawk soars and a pair of sandhill cranes pull their long bodies across the sky. And all around you, wildflowers - lupine, Indian paintbrush, daisies, columbine - make the ground glow.
After a few days at the Flying A Ranch, all this seems unexceptional. Your jaunts on horseback or foot on the ranch's 360 acres or into the neighboring Bridger-Teton National Forest are filled with nature's glories.

Dude Ranches With a Difference
The Flying A is a pioneer among guest ranches: Kids are not allowed. Conceived as a tranquil, isolated refuge where adults can get away, the ranch accommodates only 12 to 14 guests. It sits on an 8,300-foot plateau in the Bridger-Teton National Forest and provides dramatic views of the Gros Ventre and Wind River ranges.

Traveler's File: Saddle up!
Just how "away from it all" do you really want to be?
Test yourself at Flying A: It's out there. Fifty miles southeast
of Jackson, Wyoming, on desolate route 191, the ranch is actually
miles father up a deeply rutted pasture road. A new barn pokes up
from a high mountain valley, then a cluster of cabins appears around
a beautiful pond. Horses graze freely across the way; antelope and
elk look up from the hillside beyond.

At home on the Range:
A Connoisseur's Guide to
Wyoming
Let's not get carried away with the Western stuff. At the
Flying A about 80 miles from Jackson, you can hike, rope, ride and
fish - but at night you can eat off china by the fireplace and bed
down on the latest ralph Lauren linens. What's more, the six guest
cabins contain the hand-pegged pine furniture that was originally
put in them when they were built in 1929. The 360-acre spread lies
between the Gros ventre and Wind river ranges at an altitude of 8,300-feet,
so take it easy the first few days, pardner. Open mid-June through
September.
