Winter
Whether you decide to snowshoe ten miles into the Wind River Range for some quiet winter camping or if you just want to take a few runs down the slopes at the local ski hill with your family for a day, we have just what you need to get the job done! We offer trail and backcountry Nordic ski equipment, alpine ski and snowboard rentals, even snowshoes and poles, sized for the whole family to help you get out and enjoy the beautiful Wyoming winters! Lease packages on ski and snowboard equipment are available for the season, and our knowledgeable staff can help you with any questions you may have. Planning a winter ascent of Gannett Peak? We also offer rental crampons and ice axes to help you get safely to the top.
Summer
Wyoming summers are beautiful and offer a plentitude of options on a daily basis. Want to hike in and do some fly fishing in the pristine alpine lakes? Let us set you up with one of our great rental pack rod packages. Do you feel like exploring the outer banks of impressive Fremont Lake? Our lake-use canoes are perfect for you and your family to have a safe and fun day on the water (life vests included). What about an early spring hike up Gannett while the snow bridge is still in? Our rental crampons and ice axes are available all year. Our associates can help you find just what you need to have a great time, whether you are backpacking, fishing, or even canoeing on one of our great lakes.
Llama Rentals
The Great Outdoor Shop can also book pack llamas, which are a unique way to experience the backcountry and explore the Winds. Llamas are gentle and enduring by nature, making them wonderful trekking companions for extended hiking trips, families with young children and old knees! No animal experience is necessary prior to booking, however we provide a thorough llama orientation which will familiarise you with the proper saddling, packing and handling techniques. Be advised that there is a 5-day minimum, llamas average a maximum of 10 miles per day and are not permitted in certain areas of the Winds, including Titcomb Basin and the Cirque of the Towers.
For more information or to make a llama reservation, please call our shop at (307) 367-2440.
