Vicki Garnick - Owner / Operator

Vicki- The “Maja” When it comes to western women, Vicki is that in one word. She has lovingly raised 8 rowdy kids, produces and directs off-broadway musicals at the Jackson Hole Playhouse, steer whispers, and has the energy to always cook a healthy breakfast.

"As I was sitting one day by the Wind River, I looked up towards the sky, hearing the sounds of the river, the birds, I felt the ground beneath me, and I thought to myself, all those books I read, those self help tapes I have- they are but mere imitations to the healing I am receiving right now. To sit very still; and absorb the air, sounds, earth, flowers, rocks and animals, this is true healing. Nature heals us, and this is why this Ranch

experience is so important for me to share with my family and friends. In these days we rush through life, wondering why we are unhappy, when the answer lies in the beauty around and inside us. Come share in the healing and nurturing nature, the wild wonder of the wilderness and feel alive."

Bill and Billie Garnick

At 97 and 90 years old, Bill & Billie bring the old west to life at the Ranch. They started dude ranching in the 1950’s, along with a cattle auction yard and the first TV show dedicated to cattle sales and cowboys. Billie was the first female rodeo announcer, and both graduated from the University of Wyoming.

Bill still recalls his favorite horse, Cinrag, and the love of horses and cowboy-ing passed down through the generations. They never miss a cookout or party, or a chance to tell stories about the good old days of western life. Their love and history of Wyoming is apparent the moment you meet them.

Jim Moulton

“I spent the early part of my life waking up to sunrises coming over the aspen covered Gros Ventres and standing amazed at the sunsets coming over the top of the Grand Tetons. I grew up on a working cattle ranch in the middle of Grand Teton National Park. (Which many of you already visited the barn that my grandfather and his brother built).

The Moulton barn have had uncountable photos taken of them and been used in commercials and other ways to promote the West, Wyoming and national parks. I love the mountains, they are my friends most of my most cherished memories are because of them and the adventures that we have charged from climbing to

kayaking to hunting, snowmobiling and skiing- there has been a way to enjoy and embrace this wonderful state and the mountains that adorn it. I have been part of Triangle c ranch for over 15 years and other ranches from the Fying V to Triangle C my life has been intertwined with this part of our western heritage. Come and I will help you capture a sense of the wonder of this life, the mountains and people that make up this ranch.”

Jim has been a part of the Triangle C Family since we can all remember. A 4th generation Wyomingite, his family homesteaded the Teton Valley. Jim is a jack-of-all trades at the ranch, and runs everything from the reservation lines, water lines to the pack strings. Jim has a strong cowboy heritage and is proud to be living the dream.

Vanessa Boshoff

"The ranch has always been home to me, I dream of waking to the sounds of the bells from the horses being wrangled in. I grew up loving horses, and wildlife of every kind – from the squeaky chipmunks to the bugling elk. My life was spent in riding my buckskin pony Moondancer in the backcountry, collecting reptiles and rodents, raising baby wild animals-in fact I thought I could talk to animals. I loved the fact that our backyard was shared with coyotes, wolves, bear, moose and elk.

The nurturing nature that surrounded me in the wilderness and growing up on the ranch has led me to my career today."

The eldest of the 8, Vanessa is a wildlife naturalist, TV host and producer. With series on Discovery Channel and Animal Planet, she loves adventure and travel- and has guided trips across the globe. Still the “know it all” older sis, Vanessa is always one to take the family to new destinations and push the limit of where they can go, and what they can do. She lives with her cameraman husband Nel in Panama, where they create environmental documentaries. She does all the video/graphic design and artistic content for the Ranch.

Jessica Camilla O'neal

"I wake each morning to your sweet sounds the sun is bursting over the vast mountain range, another day of exploring and with each breath you nourish me, My Love my wind river love!!" This is a verse from a song I wrote about Triangle C Ranch. It truly captures how I feel about my heritage and history there. I was 13 years old when I started taking rides at Triangle C that was also the summer that my dad told me load up the guests, horses and head into the Dunoir Valley, our hunting camp, for an overnight. I had never been there, hell I barely knew how to drive a stick shift, but there I went up long creek road my blond pony tail barely boppin over the steering wheel, with a load of horses a load of really nervous guest and a map into the camp

that dad drew on a napkin. That was back in the day when we only had 7 guests, 70 horses and 8 guest cabins. Triangle C Ranch is embedded in my soul and spirit. Most of my scars are from horses & humans, but all of my healing was done on the banks of the wind river nestled amongst those wild Wyoming Mountains."

Jessica is a singer/songwriter and collector of vintage cowboy boots. Jessi ropes and rides, and lives in a cabin in Dubois Wyoming with her Indian/cowboy husband Rocky. The sister with the quickest wit, she is always up for a good hard laugh, no matter at whose expense!

Jessica has gone from diapers and cowboy boots to managing the ranch. She provides the musical entertainment and the love of horse knowledge to the ranch. She also has a PHD (Post Hole Digger).

Savanna Garnick

"There is nothing i feel more strongly about than sharing my western heritage and culture with the world. I feel so privileged and honored to have grown up amongst the wildlife, mountains, horses, cowboys, nature and the beauty of this earth that i feel is a very integral part of healing and nurturing of our souls.

The ranch is one of the most beautiful places on earth that every human should experience and enjoy. It's a place to allow yourself to be who you are and the freedom to experience life!"

Savanna is the rock of the family and the Ranch. Dependable, organized and sweet, she trains horses,

fiddles and yodels, and is now trying her luck as an actress in NYC. She and Creed share an apartment in Manhattan, where she sings in the subway and runs marathons on her free time. Savanna returns to the Ranch in the summers to ride her horse Dunoir, run the office, and keep everyone in line.

Rachael Zimmerman

Rachael is the sister/mother here. Rachael is a seasoned outdoors girl, who can survive with just a machete and a bag of rice, and start a fire from 2 sticks. Rachael runs the children’s program and handles reservations. Scott is a cowboy and backcountry guide. They met on the Ranch, when he came to work as a wrangler.

Now a year round resident, Scott guides the snow-coach tours in the winter and helps run the Ranch in the summer. Rachael and Scott live in Jackson with their 2 little kids, age 1 month and 4 years.

"I love nature, and have grown to love it more and more

as I share it with my children. I think the Ranch life is the most healthy and happy way to grow up- where you can be a child, at any age."

Creed Garnick

"As a child growing up among the bugs, the dirt, the chislers, the bears, the horses, the pain, the growth, the imagination, the love; I have waxed bias to most things that are not of these things. I find that most life is superficial and it is all a misconstrued notion of how we are supposed to live, being confined to legitimacy and legality, instead of free imagery and compassion.

I now live in The Concrete Jungle and I find myself coveting my child-life, wanting the love and knowledge that I once had of my every surrounding or if I was ignorant of something I was not ashamed to yearn to learn something new. I lived my life with an open heart and mind and when I got to the city I let social

standards and expectations manipulate my being into something that was definitely not human; I was a social confined mind worrying about how I can appear to be something that I wasn't.

Not only was I doing this stylistically but monetarily, philosophically and emotionally. I have now found, living in the city for four years, that I don't have to confine myself to those shallow ways of life, I can grow and imagine here as well. I have met many people who are of the same mind, here in the city, and we all have one respect in common "Nature". Nature is where we abide, it is where we draw our strength, our nourishment, our humanity.

I see many people who are afraid to get dirt on their hands and better yet there clothes and I wonder what is that way of life, and then I think, "Yes, the earth here is not as pure and pristine as it is elsewhere but I wish that I could share the decent earth that is out there." I love mother earth and what she stands for, I love that I can lay on the ground and be thankful that she is so giving. I love that I can share the guiltless life with the world with a peace of my child-life."

Creed is a bull rider and Julliard graduate in the drama department. He has spent the last 4 years split between summers in the backcountry of Wyoming and the winters in the concrete jungle where he attended Julliard for performing arts. Creed has a deep love for the wilds of the world and the adventure it brings. A triple threat in all senses, he has a feisty personality and a love for truth. Creed runs all the backcountry pack trips, the horses and is the head wrangler that sings while he rides.

Sky Garnick

Sky was born to play sports. He has never stopped, from baseball to basketball- it was in his blood. Luckily he got the height to go with it. An artist as well, he paints and plays the piano. Tall, lanky and blonde- Sky has a love for comedy and a heart as big as the Wyoming sky. Sky is a wrangler at the Ranch and heads up the teen program.

Golden Garnick

Golden is the “golden child”. A living hug, he is a comfort to all the brothers and sisters. But that doesn’t mean he doesn’t play hard! Goldie is part of the free style ski team, he loves gymnastics, and throwing himself into 360’s off snowy mountain tops.

Still a little musical cowboy- Golden balances his violin, skiing, and 4-H steers somehow with high school homework and girls. Golden is learning the ropes as a wrangler, and always joins in on the teen programs.

"The ranch is the best. I always like to be there with my brothers and sisters. We have so much fun just hanging out at the corrals. Every year I can wait for summer to come to go back to the ranch"

Cheyenne Garnick

Cheyenne was lucky to be born last. She is thoroughly loved (and spoiled … well and teased) by her older family members. Cheyenne has an innate love for animals, and was nicknamed Cheyanimal.

She is an avid reader, lover of the outdoors, and fashionista. She is always looking forwards to meeting the new guest kids each week, and is an innate part of the children’s and teen program planning.

"I like to meet all the new people who come. I have met such cool friends from all over the world. It is pretty cool that they want to learn about cowboys and ranch life."
