Brooks Lake Lodge& Spa

“Among the pines glistened a lake. . . what a sight! Tracks of elk and bear.

Where I sat on my horse stretched a broad, peaceful valley. I stood closer

that day to nature’s heart than ever before.”

Bryant B. Brooks, discoverer of Brooks Lake in 1889

“...a high-end wilderness experience that marries the refinements of

civilization with a reverence for nature. . . .”

David Brooks, Travel & Leisure

“Brooks Lake Lodge is one of the ten best adventure lodges in America.”

Dina Mishev, Outside

Brooks Lake Lodge has a colorful history, rich in the

tradition of the Great Western Lodge, which began with the

grand built-into-nature structures of nearby Yellowstone

National Park. In the 1920’s, what began as a stop-over for

weary travellers soon evolved into a destination resort

named the Diamond G Ranch. It operated as a dude ranch

where wealthy Easterners would come to get their hands

dirty and experience the spirit of the “true West.” With

renewed interest in rustic vacations during the 80’s, the

lodge underwent a major restoration. Soon it became

nationally recognized for both its unique allure as a

wilderness getaway and its rich cultural history. The lodge

has recently been restored again and the current owners are

dedicated to continuing the tradition of the Great Western

Ranch and preserving the Western Craftsman style.

History

Historic Brooks Lake Lodge offers an elegant atmosphere

within an intimate, secluded wilderness retreat. From

couples on a honeymoon or with families, to business people

and corporate groups, Brooks Lake Lodge can accommo-

date any occasion. The lodge is big enough to host a large

gathering or just the right size to find a private nook to

spend some time with that special someone. The fine

craftsmanship of the newly restored lodge is sure to impress

and its dramatic setting sure to astound. After an exciting

day of activities, you may curl up with a good book in an

oversized leather chair in the den, or enjoy a cocktail and

game of shuffleboard in the Diamond G Saloon. Every

modern comfort is made available to you within this

secluded mountain getaway. Brooks Lake Lodge is a perfect

balance of modern luxury and old world western hospitality.

tea is served in the lobby, and everyone is encouraged to

join in a decadent mid-afternoon break filled with great

food and good conversation. For the evening meal, sit down

in the grand dining room under dimmed lights, enjoy fine

wine, wild game and fresh fish served on delicate china.

It is time to relax and reminisce about the day’s adventures.

The Spa

The wilderness surrounding Brooks Lake Lodge & Spa is

the ultimate natural playground. For the angler, the area’s

crystal clear high-mountain lakes, spring-fed streams and

rivers teeming with Brook, Rainbow and Cutthroat trout

are truly paradise. Brooks Lake Lodge & Spa has added a

large, fully stocked casting pond for perfecting technique or

private lessons. Slip into a canoe and spend a relaxing day

fishing on 234-acre Brooks Lake, hike into Upper Brooks

or Rainbow Lake, cast into Cub Creek or try your luck on

the East Fork of the Wind River. Your guide will lead you to

the sparkling water filled with all of the fish a fisherman

could ever want. The lodge will provide the guides, the

lessons, the licenses, the tackle and the rods. Mother Nature

will provide the rest.

Fishing

There is nothing like a walk in the wilderness to renew the

spirit. With dozens of trails to choose from, you will find

your path to adventure regardless of age, physical ability or

experience. Take an exhilarating climb to the summit of

Austin’s Peak, scramble atop the Pinnacles or follow a trail

through lush forest to the pristine Sublette Meadows.

Whether you go with one of our experienced guides or set

out on your own, we will keep you fueled with a hearty

pack lunch, plenty of snacks and fresh drinking water.

Follow one of our guides down the trail and learn about the

natural and cultural history of this unique area,

its diverse wildlife and the names of the native flowers.

At the end of a day on the trail, you will feel a sense of

accomplishment having witnessed a part of the natural

world only accessible by horseback or foot.

Hiking

Venture into the wilderness astride a trusty, mountain-bred

trail horse. Our horses are accustomed to the high altitude

terrain and know the area well. All of our rides are trail

rides led by our expert wranglers to allow you to enjoy a

safe, relaxing journey along dozens of awe-inspiring trails.

Ride through fields of wildflowers in Sublette Meadows,

meander down the rugged Bonneville trail, or wander

along the quiet shores of Upper Brooks Lake. Choose a

morning, afternoon or all-day ride, however long it takes

to rediscover the cowboy or cowgirl in you. If your skills are

just a little rusty, our wranglers will give you proper

instruction before you hit the trail. If it’s your first time on

a horse, lessons can be given in our arena before riding the

mountain trails. Whether you’re an experienced rider or a

beginner, our trail rides will fill you with the beauty and

wonder of this special area.

Horseback Riding

If you have travelled this far to experience the stunning,

majestic beauty of the mountain West and to immerse

yourself in the wonder of nature, it is imperative that you

join in one of our custom pack trips venturing far into the

wilderness. Travel north on a three-hour leisurely trail

ride to Cub Creek, where a full camp is set up and waiting

for you. Ride or hike above the camp to take in the breath-

taking views of the valley and surrounding mountain

peaks. Then return to camp where, although you are in a

rustic setting reminiscent of the pioneers of the Old West,

you will still enjoy a delicious hot meal served on fine china.

After a long day of riding and a great meal, tumble into

your well appointed tent with a down-filled sleeping bag on

a cot set beside the bubbling creek, where the sound of the

soft, rhythmic flow will lull you to sleep.

Pack Trips

When you bring your children to Brooks Lake Lodge & Spa,

it may be the beginning of an important appreciation of the

natural world and, before you know it, they may be hooked

on the outdoors for the rest of their lives. A children’s

coordinator can take your kids on a half or full-day trail

walk to learn about plants, bugs and wildlife and, most

importantly, have fun! With horseback riding, canoe trips,

fishing lessons and arts and crafts, your children will never

have a dull moment. After dinner, movies are played to

help the young adventurers unwind, or everyone can gather

around a campfire under the starry sky and enjoy games,

storytelling and treats. Brooks Lake Lodge & Spa is the

ideal place to have a family vacation that your children will

remember long enough to tell their own children.
