 Located a mere three miles south of Jenny Lake
and four miles north of the Park Headquarters in
Moose, the Grand Teton Climbers' Ranch offers
the most affordable and accessible lodging for
individuals who have registered to climb in
Grand Teton National Park. Formerly the Double
Diamond Ranch, the AAC was granted a
concessionaire's permit in 1970 to operate the
Climbers' Ranch to provide mountaineers and
their families with overnight accommodations
without the congestion and time limitations of
public campgrounds.
Dates of Operation - The Climbers' Ranch is
usually open from the middle of June through the
middle of September.
Accommodations - The Climbers' Ranch offers
dormitory-style accommodations in small log
cabins that sleep 4-8 people each. The Ranch
contains a cook shelter (including dish and pot
washing facilities), toilet facilities and hot
showers, a small mountaineering library and
lounge, and limited storage space. Climbers must
supply their own sleeping bags, pads, cooking
equipment, food, towels, and other personal
gear. To minimize impact on the surrounding
environment, tent and trailer camping is not
available at the Climbers' Ranch.
Fees - Lodging at the Climbers Ranch is $8
per night (with a $20 non-refundable reservation
fee) for both AAC members and non-members.
Reservations - Lodging is on a first come,
first serve basis, although a limited number of
pre-paid reservations are accepted. Call after
June 1 for information.
Climbers Ranch Work Week - Because many Ranch
buildings were constructed in the 1920s and
1930s, maintenance work and capital improvements
are on-going concerns. To help stretch our
limited budget, the Climbers' Ranch hosts an
annual work week early in the season, usually in
early to mid-June. In return for providing
volunteer labor, climbers receive free lodging
through the end of June and a party at the end
of the Work Week. While knowledge of carpentry,
plumbing, roofing, and other construction trades
is advantageous, we can make use of anyone, no
matter what skills he or she possesses.
