Jackson Fork Ranch is a working ranch spanning more than 1,000 acres in Wyoming's Upper Hoback Basin, near Bondurant and on the edge of the Greater Yellowstone ecosystem. This is big, quiet country, where the Hoback River runs through hay meadows and the same game trails used for 9,000 years still carry elk, deer, and moose through the valley.

Our work is rooted in the land. We raise Appaloosa and Percheron cross horses through Deadshot Breeding Operations, put up our own hay, and care for habitat that supports bison, birds, and the wildlife that move through the basin each season. Stewardship guides everything we do. We partner with regional conservation experts to protect wildlife corridors, safeguard riparian areas, and keep our night skies dark.

We also believe in hospitality, for people and animals alike. Whether you're in the barn, the hay field, or the kitchen, you'll be part of a small team taking care of a special piece of the West.

Housing and meals: Staff housing provided.

Community: Our team is small and close knit. You'll know everyone by name, from the horse crew to ranch leadership, and you'll work side by side with people who care about doing things right.

Your days off: Some of Wyoming's best backcountry starts right outside your door. The Bridger Teton National Forest, the Hoback River, and the Wind River and Gros Ventre ranges offer fishing, hiking, hunting, and wildlife viewing. Pinedale and Jackson are both 45 miles away for supplies and a night out.

Perks: Discounted skiing and boarding at White Pine Resort, horseback riding opportunities, and more!

You'll thrive here if you:

• Love the outdoors and are comfortable living in a remote mountain setting

• Take pride in hard, honest work, whether that's early mornings, long hay days, or a busy dinner service

• Respect animals and the land, and want to leave both better than you found them

• Are dependable, coachable, and ready to pitch in where the ranch needs you

• Communicate well and bring a positive attitude to a small, tight team

• Must be 18 y/o, have a valid driver's license, and be willing to work year-round.

Experience with horses, ranching, or hospitality is a plus, but the right attitude matters most. If you're looking for a season (or longer) that means something, we'd love to hear from you.

The biggest perk is the address. You'll live and work on more than 1,000 acres in the Upper Hoback, with the mountains outside your window, wildlife in the meadows, and night skies most people never get to see. Your days off start at the trailhead, not in traffic.

On top of that, our team enjoys:

• Discounts at White Pine Resort, so winter days off can be spent on the slopes

• Discounts at White Pine Adventure Inn for visiting friends and family

• Discounts on merchandise

Every team member has a place to live on the ranch. We offer a few housing options depending on your role. We'll go over the options and any costs with you during the hiring process, so there are no surprises when you arrive.

Jackson Fork Ranch is near Bondurant, a ranching community of about 100 people in Wyoming's Hoback Basin. We're about 45 minutes southeast of Jackson on US 191 through Hoback Canyon, and roughly 50 minutes northwest of Pinedale.

Flying in: The closest airport is Jackson Hole Airport (JAC), about an hour from the ranch. 

Getting around: Bondurant is small. There's a post office and a seasonal cafe, and that's about it. Groceries, gas, banking, and other errands mean a trip to Pinedale or Jackson. (We strongly recommend bringing your own vehicle)

Know before you go: Cell service in the area can be limited in some areas but Stark-link is available for WIFI. Mountain weather can change quickly, and Hoback Canyon can see snow and wildlife on the road in any season, so a dependable vehicle with good tires goes a long way.

Close to home: Days off don't require a long drive. The Hoback River and Granite Creek offer cutthroat trout fishing, the Bridger Teton National Forest and Gros Ventre Wilderness are right next door, and Granite Hot Springs is a short drive away.

Out here, the backyard is the entertainment. There's no nightlife and no traffic, just some of the best outdoor country in the West, starting right at the ranch.

Summer and fall: Fish for cutthroat trout on the Hoback River and Granite Creek, hike the Beaver Creek and Cliff Creek trails into the Bridger Teton National Forest, or head into the Gros Ventre Wilderness for a real backcountry trip. Soak at Granite Hot Springs, paddle Fremont Lake near Pinedale, or catch the Green River Rendezvous each July, a celebration of the area's fur trade history. Come fall, the basin turns gold and the elk start bugling.

Winter: Ski at White Pine Resort with your staff discount, or make the trip to the resorts in Jackson. Snowmobiling and cross country skiing are right out the door, and a winter trip to Granite Hot Springs by snowmobile or skis is a local favorite.

Bigger adventures: Grand Teton National Park is about an hour away, and Yellowstone makes for a great weekend trip.

Right here at home: Some of the best nights happen on the ranch. Watch the stars come out under some of the darkest skies in the country, spot moose in the meadows, and get to know the people you work with.
