Explore and Reflect The Murie Ranch is an iconic ranch located in the heart of Grand Teton National Park in Moose, Wyoming about 14 miles from the town of Jackson Hole, Wyoming. The Murie Ranch, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, served as the home of the Murie Family and as a base camp for conservation leaders for more than 56 years. Olaus and Mardy Murie spear-headed conservation and biological study in Jackson Hole, Alaska and around the country serving as leaders in conservation culminating in the passage of the 1964 Wilderness Act. The Murie Ranch is tucked away down a quiet road at the intersection of sagebrush, aspen, and riparian habitats, providing the perfect setting for appreciating the natural beauty of the area, exploring, and reflecting on the need for these places.

Our stewardship of this iconic ranch in partnership with Grand Teton National Park requires that all events have a clear tie to the Murie Legacy, the historic Murie Ranch, the Murie family, and/or the values of wild places for visitors to Grand Teton National Park.

Lodging: Cozy, rustic cabins with private or shared baths for 1-6 guests per cabin and one bunkhouse for up to 8 guests with shared bathhouse. Total lodging capacity of 19 people.
