Glorious Guest Ranches

FLAT CREEK RANCH

For decades, Jackson Hole’s Flat Creek Ranch has carried a mystique inspired by its raucous history, its remoteness and its epic, wild beauty.  Now this jewel, cloaked in the National Forest, can become your own private wilderness. Getting here is your first adventure—a fifteen-mile route across the National Elk Refuge and into the mountains over a rigorous Jeep track. 

At the end of the road, you reach a true haven where you can hike, ride, fish and experience the backcountry.  You’ll likely meet an array of wildlife, from bald eagles to moose and deer, as well as ducks, owls and visiting osprey.  Scan the cliffs above the ranch for the mountain sheep that are indigenous to the area. 

Anglers will appreciate the trout in their acclaimed stream and private lake.  At the end of a day in the rugged wilderness, guests of Flat Creek Ranch come in for a soft landing.  Unkink saddle-weary legs in the sauna, then restoke your fires with ranch gourmet cooking—a healthy and generous cuisine spiced with just enough decadence.  Finally, settle down in one of the ranch’s historic, completely renovated log cabins.  Each is a suite consisting of a bedroom, a living room with wood stove, a bathroom and charming sitting porch. 

For an even deeper wilderness immersion, their Back Country Camp is a two-night stay in a tent camp with all the comforts Flat Creek Ranch is famous for providing. flatcreekranch.com
