Our Jackson Hole Dude Ranch is in the process of transforming  ~ the trees are turning shades of gold, the fire is roaring in the Main Lodge, and there is snow in the forecast. It is hard to believe that summer is over and that fall is upon us, but it does mean that we get to look back on one of our best summers yet, and relive a little bit of the magic that the ranch shared with us this year. Among our favorite moments ~

• We rang in our summer season with a visit from the Model A Club ~ always a treat!
• The ranch played host to all kinds of wildlife, including bears, marmots, moose, and more

• Karl’s firetruck was a hit with guests of all ages, and Sean loved taking kids to and from the barn on Tuesday mornings
• Our amazing, hardworking 2013 staff kept us laughing all summer long, and had a wonderful time getting to know new and returning guests alike
• We added a dock to the ponds, which provided countless hours of entertainment during our warm summer months for kids, fishermen, and ranch dogs
• Our cavy of 80 horses and our spectacular barn crew took guests of all abilities on horseback rides through Aspen trails, river crossings, wildflower filled meadows, and more!

As the snow begins to fall, and the ranch quiets for the winter, it is wonderful to look back on the summer season. Cheers to the summer of 2013 at our Jackson Hole Dude Ranch, and to many more magical summers to come!
