The following are a few of the unsolicited comments we have recently received. They sure made us feel good. I hope they help make your decision to pick us a little easier.

We miss the DC Bar Ranch!!! After leaving you, we went to a very classy and fancy "Yellowstone Club". After having a lonely dinner we all said "We wish we were at the DC Bar!" You have such a special place with wonderful people helping you. Thank you for a wonderful respite from the turmoil of the city.

Hey Tim, Just wanted you to let you know I got into East Tennessee State University medical school. That was my first choice and I'm Ecstatic about it. I'll be starting at the end of July. The experience I had going through Guide School and then working on your ranch was one of the big things that made me stand out. I got asked about it in all my interviews and everyone thought it was interesting and different.... and the life experience I got from it was invaluable (I'm more confident, not as afraid to make mistakes, etc, all things I mentioned in interviews). Thanks so much for the opportunity, I honestly wouldn't be where I am without it. ...and thanks for writing me a reccomendation.

We are still raving about our pack trip with you. We have given many folks your address and a Five Star rating for the fun and organization.

I was a member of the Guide School Class of 2004. I will be completing my law degree next month and have applied to take the Mississippi Bar Examination. My summer learning from and working for you remains a very fond memory for me. I often think of returning either in the summer with friends or in the fall for a hunt with my dad.

I was with you in Oct 2001 and never had that much fun on a hunt. I have a son 16 and would love to bring him up on a "Father and Son" Elk hunt in 2009.

The emotional fulfillment of taking a bull elk in a meadow off of a horseback climb has been a lifetime dream. To pursue the majestic elk with a man emulating the spirits of Jim Bridger, Kit Carson, Bill Cody, our ancestral pioneers was an unbelievable rush. You are a true mountain man. Your crew has been exceptional and professional and second to no one. I appreciated their patience and help at all times and situations. You are also a 21st century marvel business man.

We would just like to let you all know how much we appreciate everything that went into our antelope hunting experience. The accommodations, organization, guides, meals, and everything else involved in our hunt was top notch!

We’ll definitely recommend BWO to other hunters and I wouldn't be surprised if some or all of us return. Thank you!

Perfect weather, rain, hail and snow at the right price and very special was the wonderful looking after us from Dave, Alex, and Jordan. Of course we will never forget the wonderful welcome of Tim and his crew and will always remember how surprised Tim was about the milking of the buffalo to make parmesan cheese! Thank you for everything!

...my elk hunt in 1996 (11 years ago) with Bridger Wilderness Outfitters is the greatest hunting experience in my life to date. I live every year remembering that hunt and hope to one day live it again. Your operation is in a class all by itself.

Just wanted to drop you a line and let you know we had a wonderful time during our stay. Your whole staff made us feel right at home. Holly gave us pointers on how to handle the horses, which was a big help, having not ridden much. But Wes's knowledge of the mountains, horses, and just his good nature made our rides in the mountains that much more enjoyable. Accommodations & meals were great! I already miss the Aspens & beautiful skies.

We really enjoyed our vacation at your ranch. You have terrific, nice and smart people working with you. Wes was so patient especially with our two little guys. And he really gave me confidence when we went out on rides with the children. We had a great canoe ride with Dave and your chef, Mike wow! We never expected to eat that well. The food was delicious.

The summer I attended guide school at the DC Bar Guest Ranch was one of the best summers of my life. I caught rainbow trout with my bare hands, rode horseback into the mountains and kettle-cooked meals over a campfire. Nothing from a life spent in a suburb outside of Boston compares to the satisfaction of working at a guest ranch and wilderness outfitter.

Two years later, two new additions to our family & we are back for our Christmas cabin. We changed a few things this year…we didn’t make homemade gifts for each other (which is a good thing. Everyone was much happier) we didn’t have any snowmobile accidents- thank heavens & we tried to cut back on the amount of food we hauled in (thanks Tim for running in to town for more milk) we had a great marshmallow roast up at the bonfire. We went sledding, snowmobiling, and played scrabble every day. Santa brought a bunch of presents. Bedtime was the only thing that proved to be stressful given the crying babies, & the parents having Prozac moment.

Merry Christmas & Much Thanks,

Thank you so much for a great time! The house in amazing. The views are gorgeous! It was wonderful learning more about the camp & family. Being a port of this family and experiencing all the history was remarkable. I had so much fun participating in all the fun activities. The trip was well worth it. Can’t wait to make the journey again!

Thanks for a great place to stay for our family of 10. Beautiful view & cabin! Thanks as well for being so attentive to our needs through our entire stay! One suggestion that came up was that the master bedroom on the top floor could use a chest of drawers, as something to store clothes in. (Accomplished Spring 2008) We will keep this place in mind for our next Wyoming trip!

Tim-sorry we missed you! Jilda, Wes and the rest took good care of us! Thanks for having such a great place!

We want to tell you that we very much enjoyed our trip into the Wind River Range last week. The quality of your staff was over the top, and we so enjoyed our time with your staff. They were the best! We felt comfortable at all times with them and your horses while on the trail, which, as you know, can seem quite treacherous! The food was great and time with all of them was lots of fun. They took great care of us!

I just wanted to drop you a note to let you know how much we enjoyed our stay at the DC Bar Guest Ranch. It is hard to believe that it has been over a month since our visit but we still find ourselves talking about our time there almost everyday. The DC Bar is one of the most beautiful places we have ever been. We have been many different places on vacation but we have never experienced anything close to our time at the DC Bar. We really felt like we were part of the family from the minute we got there and almost had tears in our eyes when we had to leave. We both learned many things from how to shoot a gun to fly fishing to canoeing ...everyone went out of their way continually to make us feel welcome - but the highlight of the week was Dean - he was very patient with us and had lots of stories for such a young guy. We look forward to returning again and maybe doing a pack trip in the Winds!!!

Brian, Lilly and I loved our stay with you. Brian and I especially appreciated everybody's kindness and generosity of time and spirit with Lilly. She remembers her time spent with your employees so fondly. We hope to return to the DC Bar Ranch this summer for at least 10 days or so. I'll be in touch.

Our time spent with you and the Crew was wonderful. We will never forget how special your part of the world is!

We stayed with you two years ago and were worried about coming back because we didn't think there was any way another trip could possibly be as good as our first one. We wanted to cherish those memories. After our trip this year I want you to know that this one was even better... On our way home, while waiting for a plane in Jackson, my daughter Kelley was doing some PR for your ranch. A family that had stayed at another ranch in Jackson was asking about our stay & by the end of the conversation they were wanting info on how to contact the DC Bar Ranch. Our stories out did theirs at every turn. I actually felt sorry for the people. Thanks again for a wonderful time. We enjoyed every minute & we WILL be back...

2007 - Peggy Noell

We just want to thank you for the great accommodations. Our stay was perfect we had a group of 20 and it was the first time for 17 of them. I do believe everyone will be back next winter. Thank you so much!

2007 Chris & Mary Hales

"We very much appreciated the gear drop that you did for us into xyzxyzxyz Lake last August. The wranglers were top notch and everything went very smoothly. The fishing exceeded our expectations. Each of us caught and released several 16 to18 inch fish every day. We are thinking very seriously of another trip next summer..."

We often talk about the fun we had with Bridger Wilderness Outfitters 2 years back. ...I will be giving your folks a shout to book a trip with my 7 year old boy, Jack. He would love the adventure... Maybe you can pull another family or two together to make the trip with us - Most likely this next summer..."

"The Ride the Winds trip was such an experience, a follow up ride needed some space so there wouldn't be any comparison. I did a raft trip in 05' and a base camp horse ride in Montana in 06', to see a different part of the Divide (Wyoming is Better!). I have talked you guys up so much as possible because of the great trip. I will be back if I can drag someone else along."

"Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be your intern (Outfitter and Guide School). Working on a guest ranch was different from much of the work I have ever done and the experience was fulfilling... I have grown up working with horses and animals, but coming to the ranch made me realize that there was much I didn't know. Working with you and others around the young mules has taught me a lot... I will never ever forget those nights in the Wind River Mountain Range sitting around the fire: there is no better feeling. ..."

"Well a week later and I have finally recouperated from the trip (elk hunt). I am still waking up at 4:00 am though. Just wanted to let you know what a great time I had... I really enjoyed being with you and learning about elk. ...(your staff) did a great job guiding... it was the shooter that was off. I am determined to try it again!" "ps I have enclosed a picture of a Muley buck we saw back at your ranch on Saturday. He was safe (season closed)... He is not as big as those we saw at the Lake (during the hunt) but he still gets the adrenaline up!"

"I just wanted to let you know that I had a fantastic, unforgettable experience on your Ride the Winds Trip - August 5-11. The scenery was incredible and the organization and preparation that went into the trip was truly proffessional- nothing was overlooked. The BWO people were the very best part of all. I really enjoyed watching your guides/outfitters/employees at work each day. Dean seemed like a seasoned veteran who was born on a horse: he walked, talked, moved, gestured and acted like he was born and raised as a cowboy. And it was a memorable moment one evening around the campfire when he started telling tales about the exciting things that have happened during his years with your organization. I apperciated his one-on-one attention, particulary with my total inexperience as a rider. He helped me mount and dismount each time and didn't outwardly smirk or shake his head in disgust as I awkwardly tried to throw my leg over my horse when mounting up and just as awkwardly tried to drag my old, tired, stiff leg back over the horse's rear end when getting off. ...

Tye was taciturn but with a ready smile and a willingness to answer my question, and he gave me helpful advice about riding... He was competent, professional and very hard working, and it was worth the price of admission to watch him lead his string of mules through the mountains...

Alex was a pleasure to talk to with her easy-going, laid-back manner, and she made fabulous meals for us. I have special dietary needs and was afraid I wouldn't eat well, but I needn't have worried. She accomodated my diet with tasty salads and vegetables, and she made dishes that I had never had before but which are now added to my own collection of recipes. And her deserts were just out of this world.

Finally, Art was a real Gem. He was the best part of the trip, at least for me. He was so genuine and freindly and interesting, and he always took time to talk with me even when he was shoeing a horse or packing a mule. He is a tremendous asset to Bridger Wilderness Outfitters, and I only wish I could come back (in a few weeks) and do the 10-day Ride the Winds trip he is leading the first part of September.

I think my next outing with you will be a custom walking trip... Thank you for giving me my monies worth and a lifetime of great memories."

The rest of my family will be out here next summer... Thanks Again"

"I wanted to email you one last time to tell you about our trip. We went on a three day pack trip on July 27. As you can see by the pictures, everyone in my group had an incredible time! Our guides, Dean and Kyle were excellent. We were impressed about how knowledgeable they were. Our cook Alex was amazing! I was not expecting to eat as well as we did. The Wind River Mountains are absolutely beautiful. I also learned a lot about riding while on the trip and it has helped me back home with my horses. I just wish we had more trails here! My only regret was not signing up for a longer trip, maybe next year! Thanks again for all your help before our trip, and for all the great memories."

I want to thank you for hosting one of the best trips I have ever enjoyed. You have a great staff and I would especially like you to share my appreciation for the support and help provided by Mike, Art, Alex and Nick- they made the trip a joy. ... For the future, I intend to bring the light of my life (my wife Penny) on the next trip. Again, thank you and your folks. Please let them know what a great time they provided for me. I will be sharing all my experiences with my friends and hope they get the bug to give you a call and make their dreams happen!"

2006 Marshall Lounsberry, USAF Col (Ret)

"Tim, ...it was truly a good trip. I think the men-guests on the trail were a bit hurting, especially by the end... but this old lady did just fine. Great scenery, great adventure, great times. I would like to comment on the staff, however. Of course Dean was wonderful through crises and challenges...However, in additon to that, Art and Tye are to be commended. Both are incredibly hard-working and motivated. Art is so, so knowledgeable about horses and so tuned into their needs. Tye works so hard he is going to die if you don't feed him more... and both are attuned to the needs of the clients and the demands of a trip like this. You couldn't ask for better employees."

We all think that the Big House is absolutely beautiful! We had a good time. A couple of mice got trapped in the window wells downstairs, but were rescued. There was also a lone female moose (molly) that hung around the house for a couple of days, that was a wonderful poser for the camera. There were also a bunch of hummingbirds at the feeder everyday and we refilled it almost every day! Thanks for a great stay!

Thank you so much for our wonderful Old Fashion Cabin Christmas! Yes, we brought in all of our presents & thanks to you we were able to cut down a perfect tree to decorate and put all the presents under. Our family of 17 ranged from 7 weeks old to the patriarch at 62 years old. We had a ton of fun even though we had a couple mishaps that we can laugh at now. From a terrible wreck on the snowmobile by my dad (which we thought we were going to have to take him to the hospital, but my brother, a physician, diagnosed it as a couple broken ribs) to a couple of us getting a stomach bug that kept them in the bathroom. All in all we had a wonderful time…Santa found us just fine and we would love to make this a family tradition.

We came, we saw, we ate heartily. First pain for the whole of the summer, or so they tell us. 17 in one house! From Iceland, London, Texas, and Wyoming. The trail ride was great. You should definitely order up a summer shower if one is available. It cools thing off nicely.

I had a great time in the woods. Mike, Alex, Jeff, and Logan were the best. We saw a lot of wildflowers. I caught a 7 inch fish that I cooked and ate. We saw two marmots. It was bumpy on the horseback riding. We went to Cutthroat Lake. My dad caught 3 beautiful cutthroats. I love the scenery. It was the best.

Rick Lomas

We really enjoyed our stay here, the view is breathtaking and when it snowed the second night, just made things beautiful. The facilities were excellent; the staff was friendly, helpful and courteous and went out of their way to make our stay special. Thanks again for a great time and hope to see you again.

I had a great time at your excellent ranch. I went for a week horseback trip at Round lake. My guide were Alex, Mike, Logan and Jeff. They were great and helped us out a lot... they took us out to Cutthroat lake and Sectionscorner lake. We fished and swam and hiked them... the food was greatand the riding was extremely fun. We saw lots of antelope, mule deer and some elk. We saw the antelope. The weather was very good in the first 4 days but is got rainy and hail during our visits your cabin is nice and comfy. Your horses are really nice. Show Alex, mike, Logan, and Jeff this please. You guys ROCK.

Love,

No words can describe how thankful I am for the opportunity of spending days/night at your ranch. Both The “Bear Den” and the big house provided me with a sense of well being. I will return to Philadelphia, PA with memories I will keep in both my mind and heart for the rest of my life! This is my second trip and hopefully I’ll be able to return again someday. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything.

Our son Robert was the person who got the family to the outstanding wilderness experience.

We were lucky to see moose as well as a wolf chasing an antelope. The wolf found my grandchildren more interesting than the antelope.

We had thunder and lightning strikes to view outside the scenic overlook. The wildlife and wildflowers were beautiful. Thank you for a blessed vacation.

Thank you for the great food we had last week. Everyone was very helpful & fun to be around. All the neat trails we took with the horses were an adventure especially the overnight trip with the horses. My horse was Midnight, he was great. The only funny part about him that kinda of scared me is that he would trip over every ground limb and rock-otherwise he was great! My family had fun too. The horses were all nice to see and pet so were the mules. Thanks again!

No need to get all artsy with this entry. Straight up… A lawn chair view brings me back to age 11 before my father passes. He always talked about Rocky Mountains and how he longed to show me some day. I never thought he’d be showing me quite like this.

He never had the chance to see them in his lifetime. I feel like the view and the smile I have right now matches his in some way.

You have been blessed with a long life and a good heart.

Thank you for sharing the feeling of what it’s like to be at the top.

We want to thank you for a wonderful visit to your lodge. The snowmobiling was great and the lodge beautiful. Our only suggestions are a little more water and a large hot tub on site. The grandkids had a FANTASTIC time sledding, building a fort, playing hide and seek, snowmobiling, coloring, etc.. Thanks again!
