PRICE:
Frommer's Very Highly Recommended

Nestled at 8,300 feet between the Gros Ventre and Wind River ranges of Wyoming, the Flying A stuns its visitors with panoramic views. Quaking aspen, stream-fed ponds, and curious antelope are hardly disturbed by this exclusive operation, which hosts only 14 guests at a time. Built in the 1930s, the ranch cabins have been carefully restored, with evocative touches that include wood-burning stoves, handmade pine furniture, and regional artwork. Typical of a dude ranch, everything is included: unlimited horseback riding, fly-fishing (with lessons, if you wish), mountain biking, guided hikes, gourmet meals, and unlimited hot-tub time. The cabins are rustic on the outside but have complete bathrooms and fireplaces, porches, and views. The quiet intimacy of this small operation is underlined by an adult-oriented operation -- while children are welcome, there are no specific children's activities. It's a 50-mile drive from the ranch to Jackson for shopping and sightseeing excursions.
