Getting Here
Welcome to the
Wind River Valley
Arrival and Departure: Please plan to arrive between 3:00 p.m. and 6:00 pm on Sunday.
Check-out follows breakfast on Saturday.
Google Maps is reasonably accurate, but we are seven miles off the highway on a Forest Service road, so we strongly recommend you pay attention to the signs and directions given below.
By Car: from the West – (Jackson and Yellowstone)
Go about three miles east of Dubois. The highway climbs a long hill and drops into a small valley. After the bridge, turn RIGHT onto Forest Road 411 (Trail Lake Road). Immediately after turning off the highway, the gravel road forks. Take the LEFT fork. The Ranch is approximately seven miles from the main highway. Our signs occur periodically. The Ranch road is on the left shortly after the Ring Lake campground. Cross the bridge and come through the gate. The gate is not locked, even if it appears to be so; please close it after you. The main complex is ½ mile up the road from the gate.
By Car: From the East – (Riverton or Lander)
Highway 26/287. The turnoff is the LEFT, between mile marker 59 and 60 onto Forest Road 411 (Trail Lake Road). Immediately after turning off the highway, the gravel road forks. Take the LEFT fork. The Ranch is approximately seven miles from the main highway. Our signs occur periodically. The Ranch road is on the left shortly after the Ring Lake campground. Cross the bridge and come through the gate. The gate is not locked, even if it appears to be so; please close it after you. The main complex is ½ mile up the road from the gate.
By Plane
Jackson is the closest airport and is served by several airlines. It is important to book early. Some guests who plan to rent a car find flights into Idaho Falls, ID and car rentals less expensive. The drive from Idaho Falls to the Ranch is about 185 miles or 3:45 hours.
Car rental is also available at Jackson Hole Airport, but prior reservation is a must.
Transportation from the Jackson Hole Airport with Ring Lake Ranch
The Ranch can arrange to pick up guests from the airport by previous arrangement and at an additional cost. Simply select “yes” for airport transportation when you register. Please arrange your flight to arrive before 3pm, so that we can get you checked in before dinner is served at 6pm. Airport transport fees for the summer: $115 per person, maximum $230 per family, each way. A one way trip is $138 per person.
We want to make getting to the Ranch as convenient as possible. Please let us know your flight schedule well in advance.
