Looking for some fresh air and a little exercise? Besides exploring over 500 miles of trails on the Snowy Range and the Sierra Madre Mountains, winter in Saratoga, Wyoming, offers the chance to enjoy cross country skiing and snowshoeing on miles of groomed wilderness trails. Venture off-trail through any part of the pristine one-million-acre Medicine Bow National Forest. Explore the Platte Valley on cross country skis, snowshoes or take the kids sledding!
Upon return, nothing could be cozier than your lodge guest room, where featherbeds, Pendleton blankets and custom made beds await you. Or even better, a sneak down to our firelit trophy room for a late night hand-crafted beer or hot toddy.
