Visited this ranch in early May. After a 2 night stay in Jackson Hole, we enjoyed an adventurous drive on a dirt track out to the ranch spotting a wealth of wildlife from deer, buffalo, elk and lots of birds. (Approx timing - 2 hours). The ranch is set in a very remote beautiful valley with quality facilities to entertain families or couples. Great for horse riding, fishing, hiking or wildlife viewing. Top tip - stay longer!
