Mountains, forests and single-track dirt trails through the wilderness – that’s what awaits at September’s Wolf Creek Wrangle, a trail run that winds among the Bighorn Mountains of northern Wyoming that surround Eatons’ Ranch, the oldest operating dude ranch in the West (as well as the rest of the United States).
The race, which is organized by Habitat for Humanity of the Eastern Bighorns and doubles as a fundraiser for the shelter and home-building nonprofit, follows an out-and-back course that starts and finishes on the grounds of the ranch, and is also one of Trail Runner Magazine’s Trophy Series Trail Runs this year.
“Longer than advertised.” From the starting line at the ranch, the race heads onto the dirt roads that lead toward the nearby unincorporated community of Wolf and then into the hills and mountains, along cattle roads and dirt trails that organizers say “are a little longer than advertised.”
