There was another thread discussing that Togwotee Mountain Lodge was sold, and in that thread someone posted that Crooked Creek was up for auction. I did a little Google searching and found the advertisement for the auction, which I copied below. I also saw that they had it listed with a real estate broker out of Jackson Hole for $3.5M. Wonder if it sold? Could be significant changes for riding on Togwotee Pass next year.

Wyoming Crooked Creek Guest Ranch offered at auction
Cheyenne -



Crooked Creek Guest Ranch, a year-round mountain retreat, will sell at auction on Tuesday, July 1st, 11 a.m. on site. J. P. King Auction Company, one of the nation’s leading auction marketing firms specializing in high-luxury properties will manage the sale of the ranch.

Crooked Creek Guest Ranch is perched high above Dubois, Wyoming. It is only 80 miles east of Jackson Hole and at the south entrance of Yellowstone National Park. Comfortably spread on 19± acres of the Wind River Mountain Range, the mountain retreat is nestled next to the Shoshone National Forest and the Continental Divide Trail. Crooked Creek offers guests hundreds of miles of trails to explore and fascinating sights of the Absarokas, Wind River Range, Gros Ventre Range and more.

"The last seven years at the ranch have been wonderful, but it's time to move on to a new adventure,” said owner Michael Fjetland. “I chose the auction method, as it permits me to sell my property on my timetable and the ability to market to potential new buyers.”

Thier has been alot of activity in wyoming resort market. Do you think owners are getting out due to high fuel prices and vacationers traveling less.
