Happy June, everyone!! We are both thrilled, and slightly in disbelief, that we are already in the month of JUNE and that the annual Dominick Family Week is upon us! We had about 20-25 Dominick family members arrive on Friday and are with us throughout the week – it’s a great and fun way for […]
We’re here!
I think we can officially say that our 2017 season has begun! Our staff started trickling in at the beginning of last week, and we have just about half of our entire summer staff here at this point. They’re busy cleaning cabins (including the beautiful new Big Buffalo!), splitting wood, opening up the lodge — […]
Gearing up!
It is hard to believe that in less than 3 weeks, we will be living up at the ranch and our 2017 staff will be just starting to arrive! We are so excited. Crazy enough, we are getting SEVERAL reservations for NEXT summer (2018) each week and filling up quickly – so if you’re planning […]
Happy April!
Hello April! We are so happy you are here and excited that we are one month closer to the start of our 2017 season! We are keeping our fingers crossed that winter is officially behind us – but in Wyoming, and especially in Sunlight Basin, you really never can be sure! We have been doing […]
Springtime snow melt!
So it may not look like it from the pictures, but the difference in the amount of snow up at the ranch is HUGE! I am up there every week, and every time, it is like a new 7D. It’s still a little muddy and messy, but it’s so nice to actually be able to […]
Springtime is upon us!
As we chug along here in Cody and up in Sunlight Basin – I’m doing my best to keep you all updated on a more regular basis through our blog! Feedback/comments are always welcome and appreciated – we love to hear from you! It feels like the time change from the past weekend is one […]
March 2017 – Howdy from Cody!
Hello from the 7D Winter Office in Cody! The days are finally getting longer here in Cody, but the weather can’t seem to make up its mind between winter and spring – it’s definitely been an interesting combination of both seasons over the last week or so! We are in full swing preparing […]
August 2016 – First Snow on Windy
Autumn is coming to the Basin. You can tell by the fireweed surging through the tall grass, the ice coating the bridges over the spring in the morning, and the need for fresh coffee every afternoon when the guests return from their adventures. Adult weeks have begun. The boat races have ended for the season, […]
December 2015 – Hauling Horses
As the days get shorter and colder; as the wind picks up and it starts to snow, we know that it is time to move the horses to town from the ranch. Before Wyoming Highway 296, or the Chief Joseph Highway, was paved, the ranch used to run a two day horse drive, all the […]
November 2015 – Fall Wildlife
This time of year, wildlife begins to take advantage of the limited human presence on the ranch. White-tailed deer start to graze on our lawns, claiming them as their fall pasture. A small family of moose has also moved back in, the pond up by the shop is their territory. Luckily we have not had […]
