Father-Daughter Duo Explore Big Sky Country… Laura Hamlin Weiler ’00 traveled to the foothills of the Bighorn Mountains for a father-daughter adventure on behalf of the Trinity Discovery Award, an annual award given to a faculty or staff member to support the school’s Discover Your Path mission. “We had an amazing trip!” said Weiler.

They stayed at the H F Bar Ranch in Saddlestring, Wyoming, which was built in 1911. “We rode horses on extensive trail rides up into the surrounding hills and mountains both in the mornings and evenings,” she said. “The rides were 2-3 hours long and were both totally different and completely breathtaking and
beautiful in their own ways. The topography is spectacular, and allowed for extensive exploration,” said Weiler. “Riding is central to the ranch, and there is no better way to explore the country and see the abundant wildlife than on horseback. We also went skeet shooting, did lots of hiking and running, and
spent time on the large porch of our cabin, reading, relaxing, and just talking. The time flew by, and before we knew it, we were headed back to Richmond. It was such a special experience for my dad and me, and we cannot wait to return with our entire family!”
