The ranch runs about 150 head of horses and mules. With that many animals, there is a temperament to match the skills of any rider. A horse is assigned to you for the week. Beginner instruction is offered each day for an additional charge in the new arena and children 6 and older may ride their own horse. Miles of scenic trails, guided by Western wranglers, wind through majestic mountains, surrounded by timber and an abundance of wildlife.
We have family rides, adult rides, as well as rides grouped according to your ability. There are sunset rides on Wapiti Ridge or Lava Mountain, where you see the Wyoming world in 360 degrees. Also a ranch rodeo and Gymkhana for all complete with an awards ceremony.

Located only 30 miles from the South East entrance of the park, we offer a guided day trip to Yellowstone National Park on Wednesdays. Yellowstone offers unique wildlife viewing, and is a place you will never forget. You'll visit Old Faithful Geyser (she's still on time!), marvel at the geothermal activity, see the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone, overlook Yellowstone Lake, and search for wildlife.
The park is home to an abundance of animals; rainbow trout, bald eagles, otters, coyotes, bison, elk, moose, wolves and much more. It is also home to the world's largest geyser field. A trip to Yellowstone is a step back in time to the days of explorers and mountain men.
These fabulous wonders occur throughout the year, and we arrange guided Snow Coach Adventures to the Park in the Winter Season.
If you are interested in a real western backcountry experience, Thunder Mountain Outfitters at the Triangle C Ranch is ready to take you there.
Towering more than a mile above the valley known as Jackson Hole, the Grand Teton rises to 13,780 feet above sea level. There is habitat here for a variety of animals, from the tiniest insects, to fish, birds and large and small mammals.
The drive north from Jackson to the Triangle C Ranch offers a firsthand glance at this wild country. If you look carefully you can spot a moose hiding in the willows, or a coyote lookin' for dinner on Antelope Flats. From the Ranch you can experience the grandeur of this Park by car, boat or foot.
Scenic Rafting is available on the Snake River and is an optional activity offered on Wednesday. A beautiful tranquil way to see Grand Teton National Park! The Minimum age is generally 4 years old, but the rafting outfitter has the final decision.
Or get your adrenaline rush on a Whitewater trip, rushing down rapids from class 2 to 4! Whitewater and scenic rafting are available but are not included in your ranch stay fee.
Triangle C Ranch lies in a hiker's paradise. From Lava Mountain you can see as far as the Tetons.
