The Lazy L&B is well known for the its horseback riding program. Our experienced staff of wranglers will carefully select your own horse for the week. With rides ranging from three and a half hours to all day long, beginner and advanced groups are kept small to enhance your enjoyment and allow special instruction. Surrounded by three mountain ranges; the Wind River Range, the Absaroka Wilderness and the Owl Creek mountains on the Indian Reservation, the riding is superb.
What makes the Lazy L&B unique is the opportunity to trot and lope through some of the most diverse terrain imaginable. Red rock and sand-canyon draws lead you up onto the high plateaus of the Reservation. Trot along the cottonwood river bottoms and tall rangeland grasses into colorful badland country. In contrast, experience the mountain meadows, abundant with wild flowers, or alpine country where early and late in the season you may see herds of elk and deer, moose or coyotes. For those who don't like to ride, we have horses that don't like to be ridden. . .
There is a supervised riding program for children 5 years and older that includes riding and safety instruction. Two nights a week the children eat early with the wranglers, one night being a hayride BBQ. Their dinner is followed by activities such as hiking, roping and corral games. There's a petting zoo for the younger ones.
Anglers can enjoy fishing in the stocked ponds, the East Fork of the Wind River on the ranch, or in the neighboring Wiggins, Bear Creek and Wind Rivers. Other activities include hiking, swimming in the river or the solar heated ranch pool, riflery, leather shop and games, including volley ball, horseshoes, and pool.
In the town of Dubois there is a weekly evening of square dancing, a chance to visit the Big Horn Sheep Center and museum and time to browse the attractive western shops along the authentic boardwalks.
