We stopped in Lander, Wyoming for a few days, so we decided to check out the Sinks Canyon State…read morePark. Good decision! Sinks Canyon is so named because of a rushing river that flows out of the mountains and through the canyon. Halfway down, the river turns (sinks) into a cavern and runs underground for 1/4 mile where it emerges in a pool called "The Rise". In the Rise there are Rainbow and Brown trout; the larger ones may weigh up to 12 lbs, but NO FISHING! For a quarter you can buy fish food to feed the fish, which is fun for everyone. A must-do if you are in the area! Also check out the Visitor Center. It is small, but is one of the best I've seen, and I've seen many. The wildlife is well displayed; and I loved the wildflower displays. The geologic rocks outside the visitor center are also A+. Well done, absolutely 5 stars.

At $18.95/spool, I thought it was pricey, but they were out of stock of most other makes in the 3X size....so I had no choice. I then drove to Cody, stopped in at Northfork Anglers and found the SAME ITEM at $8.95/spool. Wow....and OUCH. Be careful out there....and shop around. Double the price is a bit much for a item like that. Otherwise, I love their store.

If you're going into "The Winds" to climb, this is a good spot to take your first break and cool your tootsies. I would NOT recommend drinking this water without filtration though.

We stopped, admired the views, then threw our torture-packs back on and continued down the trail.

We requested and scheduled a 6 night horse, spot camp trip with Diamond_4 outfitters for a…read morewilderness fly fishing trip in early July to the Pogo Agie wilderness south of Lander. A month before departure we had a medical upset, and gratefully, with a whole summers worth of time flexibility on both sides, Diamond_4 was able to reschedule the trip for end of the season in early September. Then a couple of weeks before departure Diamond_4 had a business upset and unilaterally rescheduled the trip dates. Given the short notice at the season's end, there was no time flexibility due to other obligations and approaching seasonal snow storms. The short notice, rescheduled trip window was only 5 days. With no accommodations, reconciliation, or reparations forth coming from Diamond_4 for the mandatory change in schedule, we could not meet our daily trip itinerary. Thus a trip of a lifetime was canceled. From the discussions we felt Diamond_4 had 1) no vested interest in the success of the client's trip. And 2), no interest in client satisfaction levels. We also learned they have 3) no internal processes to manage business upsets beyond passing it on to the client. And 4) no capabilities for acting to mitigate wildness emergencies of clients or wranglers out of cell phone range, of which there are numerous satellite options. They do get one star for refunding our deposit. But still, the trip of a lifetime was lost. The whole experience with Diamond_4 for a client specified spot trip was very disappointing. I would not recommend their services as client safety in the wilderness and trip satisfaction is at high risk due to upsets from weather, internal business failures, or medical factors compared to other outfitters I have used

My husband and I stayed at Big Sandy last August. We had such a great time…read more Natasha and Kay made great homestyle dinners each night. The Dining room is set and you eat with other campers and hikers. They even let me ring the dinner triangle to let everyone in the cabins and around the lodge know that dinner was ready. We took an eight mile, over night hike to view Bridger Wilderness. The crew does pack trips, which means they will meet you on the trail with a pack horse full of supplies. This was so helpful. We are not the most experienced of hikers, and to have this option was perfect. We also took a day long ride on horseback. They packed us a lunch, and we took a guided trail ride. It was amazing! The horses were so friendly. While I am an experienced rider, my husband had never been on a horse. They have horses for all experience levels. Wayland (his horse) was perfect for him, and Rita was perfect for me. Everything about our trip was very authentic. From the dinner triangle, to the horses. From Stan teaching us about the "Tarzan call", and the other man cracking the whip and teaching one of the other campers to do it. Each morning and night there was a wood fire in the lodge, and a relaxing place to sit and visit, or play a board game by lantern light. Big Sandy is a family run lodge and everyone treats you as if you are part of their family.
