Stay at the darwin

Experience a wildlife retreat in Wyoming's beautiful backcountry

Thank you for your interest in the Darwin. The Darwin Ranch is like nothing else in the west. Drawing inspiration from safari lodges of East Africa, they offer unparalleled experiences and unforgettable hospitality at their secluded high-altitude oasis. At the most remote guest ranch in the lower 48 states, 25 miles down a dirt road, you will find a herd of horses dotting a spectacular green river valley amid a collection of 100-year-old cabins.

More Information
At the Darwin Ranch, you can spend the day riding and hiking across mountain ridgelines without a soul for miles in any direction. You can wet a line or settle into an afternoon with a book. You can savor extraordinary meals prepared by their farm-to-table kitchen that sources directly from the family farm. You can gather for cocktails on the porch of the main lodge overlooking the twists and turns of the Gros Ventre River. You can watch the sunset while soaking in our wood-fired hot tub. And you can drift off to sleep in the stunning hand-built cabins whose modern style blends gracefully into the bones of 100-year-old structures.

The Darwin offers the best: the best access to the epic remoteness of the Bridger-Teton Forest and the Gros Ventre Wilderness and an approach that offers you the freedom to make this experience your own; the best food that the west can present: fresh, local, organic, homemade, and delicious; and the best service that quietly assures your experience is unforgettable.

Along with everything that the ranch provides this retreat boasts the opportunity for gorgeous trail riding, a day of guided fly fishing, spirit tastings, and conservation-based fireside chats.

WWF Programs

Wyoming faces complex conservation challenges and Wyoming Wildlife Federation has put together a diverse set of programs to address them.

The BLM Rock Springs Field Office is currently revising its Rock Springs Resource Management Plan, which has implications for wildlife and sportsmen for many years to come.

With increasing pressures on wildlife habitats and specifically the throfares in which animals move and migrate, come increasing need for programs and initiatives that focus on conserving these vital habitat cooridors.

Bringing hunters and anglers together and building an effective and informed advocacy voice is the mission for the Camo at the Capitol program.
