Overview
The Lazy L & B Ranch offers A TRUE WESTERN EXPERIENCE. It sits at 7,200 feet in the Wind River’s East Fork Valley of Wyoming. The lodge and cabins are shaded by lush green cottonwoods and the contrasting red clay cliffs of the Wind River Indian Reservation. The ranch continues to keep the authentic western flavor of the old sheep and cattle ranch, originally settled by Scottish homesteaders in the 1890s, in what has become known as Scotch Valley.
This is the true west where names ring with the legends of the Wild West. This is the land of Jim Bridger and the Mountain men, the Arapahoe and Shoshone Indians, Lewis and Clark, Sacajawea, Chief Washakie, Buffalo Bill, the Pony Express, and the Oregon Trail.
The Lazy L & B is known for the quality and extensiveness of its riding program. Their experienced staff of wranglers will carefully select your own horse for the week. WITH RIDES RANGING FROM THREE AND A HALF HOURS TO ALL DAY LONG, BEGINNERS AND ADVANCED GROUPS ARE KEPT SMALL TO ENHANCE YOUR ENJOYMENT AND ALLOW SPECIAL INSTRUCTION. Surrounded by three mountain ranges - the Wind River to the south, the Absaroka Wilderness to the north, and the Owl Creek mountains on the Indian Reservation to the east - the riding is superb. What makes the Lazy L & B unique is the opportunity to TROTT AND LOPE through some of the most diverse terrain imaginable. Red rock and sand-canyon draws lead you up onto the high plateaus of the reservation. Trot along the cottonwood river bottoms and tall rangeland grasses into colorful badland country. In contrast, experience the mountain meadows abundant with wild flowers, or alpine country where early and late in the season you may see herds of elk and deer, moose and coyotes. For those who don’t like to ride, Lazy L & B has horses that don’t like to be ridden…
There is a supervised riding program for children five years and older that includes riding and safety instruction. TWO nights a week the children eat early with the wranglers, one night being a hayride BBQ. Their dinner is followed by activities such as hiking, roping and corral games. There’s a petting zoo for the younger ones.
Anglers can enjoy fishing in the stocked ponds, the East Fork of the Wind River on the ranch, or in the neighboring Wiggins, Bear Creek and Wind Rivers. Other activities include hiking, swimming in the river or the solar heated ranch pool, riflery, leather shop and games, including volleyball, horseshoes, ping-pong, and pool. In the town of Dubois there is a weekly evening of square dancing, a chance to visit the Big Horn Sheep Center and museum and time to browse the attractive western shops along the authentic boardwalks.
The lodge has a cozy fireplace, a library, and game tables where guests enjoy evening entertainment of cowboy poetry and songs. The ranch fresh meals with homemade breads and desserts are served family style with BREAKFASTS TO ORDER, PICNIC LUNCHES, sit-down dinners and BBQs.
Tucked in the cottonwood trees and arranged around a central courtyard and along the river, the log cabins are comfortably furnished with casual western flavor. All have a small refrigerator, private bath or shower, electric heat, and porches, and some with views of the Absaroka and Wind River mountain ranges.
The Lazy L & B Ranch invites you to share a week of western fun while enjoying the spectacular beauty and drama of Wyoming’s vast country.
