About Us
2019 season begins May 31st and ends on August 12th in 1925, the year Moose Head Ranch was homesteaded, Jackson Hole was a land of pioneers and ranch families who worked hard to live in such a beautiful, pristine setting. The Ranch was purchased in 1967 by John Mettler and is now in the capable third generation hands of Chris and Lindsay Davenport, who grew up on the ranch and are now following their parents, Louise and Kit, who are retiring after many years. Eddy Edmiston also grew up at Moose Head, and has taken over the ranch manager position when his father, Dave, retired after 37 years. For both management and guests, there’s something about this Jackson Hole Dude Ranch that gets in your blood and keeps you coming back …. again and again.
“Take a boy and a girl to the beach for a week and ask them ten years later the name of it; they will have forgotten. Take them to a ranch, and they will remember its name and the name of their horse for the rest of their lives.”
Gene Kilgore, author of Ranch Vacations
