Summer in Daniel, Wyoming is breathtaking.

The Wind River mountain range and dusty landscapes are traversed by cowboys and cattle. Moose roam the town freely and bears leave their claw marks on tree bark, reminding us that Mother Nature is in charge. Here, the wild spirit of Wyoming is both inhospitable and welcoming, terrifying and thrilling, and nowhere is that more evident than the private 400 acres of Jemas Ranch.

Fly fishing on Wyoming's Green River during the summer is an exhilarating experience that combines the thrill of the catch with the stunning backdrop of nature. The beauty of the cotton flower blue sky is enhanced by fluffy cumulonimbus clouds that often float into the sky by late afternoon, bringing an electric summer storm that lights up the sky. You never know what to expect, which is what makes visiting Wyoming truly an adventure.

Wind River Range

While the Teton Mountain Range is most often visited by tourists, many locals prefer the beauty of the Wind River Range in the central Rocky Mountains, home to 19 of Wyoming’s 20 highest peaks. If you time it right in the day, you will feel gusts up to 40 mph as you gaze down at sparkling blue waters and craggy cliffs from 13,000 ft up. Book a tour through Jemas Ranch to bike, run or hike up Gannett Peak, Wyoming’s tallest mountain at 13,804’. Don’t worry – there’s a road that takes you to the trailhead where you can do a leisurely, non-strenuous beginner hike of 1.8 miles to the peak’s top.

This majestic body of water runs for 730 miles, crossing into Colorado before meeting up with the Colorado River in Southeastern Utah. Wyoming’s portion of the Green River is home to six species of trout:
