A Bar A Ranch

The A Bar A Ranch is located on nearly 100,000 acres surrounded by national forest and wilderness areas. The map included on the last page of this packet shows our location in the Medicine Bow Mountains of southern Wyoming.

Our guests are part of a long tradition. We first began operating as a guest ranch in the 1920s and many of our guests have been coming to the Ranch for generations. Whether you are new to the A Bar A or a long-time friend, we want you to feel like this is your home. If there is anything we can do to help plan your time at the Ranch, please let us know.

Two of the most popular pastimes for guests are fly fishing and horseback riding, but there are activities for all ages, including hiking, shooting, tennis, swimming, golf, and comfortable areas for reading and relaxing.

The A Bar A headquarters is located in south central Wyoming, about 15 miles north of the Colorado border. Our property also extends about 20 miles south into Colorado. Most of our guests choose to fly into Denver and rent a car. It takes 3.5 to 4 hours to drive from Denver to the A Bar A. Directions are included in this packet and are also available online. We recommend following our directions to the A Bar A rather than using navigation apps on your phone or in your car, since these will sometimes guide you to a back gate rather than our front entrance. If you do follow your GPS, do not let it make you turn onto a dirt road until you reach the A Bar A overhead gate at mile marker 112 on Highway 230.

The average daytime temperature in the summer is about 75 degrees. Humidity is generally about 20%. Nights are cool and in the summer the temperatures will range from the upper 40s to the mid 50s. During early June and in September, the days can be cooler (60 to 70 degrees) and nights frosty. In any season, plan on bringing a light jacket.
