The Hideout is not your typical dude ranch

 

 
 

The High Country Upper Hideout Lodge

 

The Upper Hideout is nestled amid a grove of tall pines up in the Big Horn Mountains located at approximately 8,400 ft elevation.  It is a remote spot accessible by horseback or 4x4 vehicles after the snow pack has melted, usually in mid June.  Visitors and supplies are packed in and out during the summer and fall until heavy snow accumulation.

 

During the summer season, we organize High Country Upper Hideout overnight stays on a weekly basis. Please let us know in advance if you would like to participate.
 
On horseback, it’s about a 4 to 6 hour ride; by 4x4 vehicle it’s 2-1/2 hours; and by helicopter, only 10 minutes. For your safety and in case of emergency, there is a heated helipad nearby.  Helipads are also located on other areas on the property too. 
 
Should you opt for an overnight stay at the Upper Hideout high mountain lodges, as part of your Cowboy Adventure Package or similar arrangement, you will be assigned sleeping quarters in comfortable guest cabins.

 

At the Upper Hideout you will bed down in tidy sleeping bags complete with fresh sheet sacks and pillowcases. All cabins have porches offering breathtaking views. On clear days, you may see the Rocky Mountains, about 120 miles away.
 
There is a cozy central lodge called the Cook Shack where folks congregate and meals are served.  It contains a wood stove, arm chairs, bathrooms, and two large dining tables for hearty meals or enthusiastic card games.  This is our idea of roughing it.

 

A roomy deck with a fine view overlooks the refreshing spring fed pond.  In the evening we gather around the fire pit and campfire when there is no fire ban. We also keep a guitar and board games for anyone who'd care to play.

 

For your consideration, we offer an elegant, three-story owner's lodge for an especially private retreat, family stay or hunting trip.  Please call Peter De Cabooter at The Hideout for more information.

 

However you decide to get to the Upper Hideout, you will find the journey in and out as rewarding as the stay itself. Wildlife is abundant and streams in the nearby canyons offer good fishing. Deer graze around the compound and you can hear the coyotes howl during the night. We invite you to retreat to the secluded Upper Hideout for your next Wyoming vacation.
