The quickest and easiest way to visit the Double D Ranch is by flying directly into Casper, Wyoming, renting a car from one of the various vendors available at the airport terminal and driving the short 30 minute drive to the Ranch on I-25.  A 4-wheel drive vehicle is not required to access the ranch, but if your plans include trips off the beaten path, you don’t want to be without it.

Glenrock, Wyoming is located at latitude 42.86 north and longitude 105.87 west, is in the Mountain Time zone, and follows daylight savings time.  Glenrock’s annual precipitation averages 12 inches per year and an average snow fall of 22 inches per year.  The annual average temperature is 50 degrees.

Although, snowfall in Glenrock averages only 22 inches per year, the ranch experiences much greater snowfall due to the fact that it is considerably higher than the town of Glenrock, which sits at 5,000 ft above sea level.

Nearby Glenrock provides all the comforts of home with a grocery store, drug store, hardware store, various shops and fine dining with master chef, Matt Stottlemyer, at the Paisley Shaw Restaurant located in the historical Hotel Higgins.  The Hotel Higgins was constructed in 1916 and at that time was considered the finest hotel in the western United States, north of Denver.  It has since been listed on the National Historic Registry, and serves as the town’s main gathering place.  Glenrock is Wyoming’s 30th largest city boasting a population of 2,200 people.

If you find yourself in the mood for a more of “big city” atmosphere, Wyoming’s second largest city of Casper, is only 28 miles away.  Casper, Wyoming is home to 53,000 people, more than 10% of the entire population of the State of Wyoming.  Casper has numerous restaurants, hotels, shopping centers, movie theaters, bowling allies and most of the things people east of the Mississippi are used to, including enclosed shopping malls. Casper also hosts a full service commercial airport with daily flights to and from Denver, Colorado and Salt Lake City, Utah, which serve as the major hubs for most airlines.  Regional flights are also available.

The Double D Ranch offers plenty of peace and quiet and wide open spaces.  Wyoming is the country’s least populated state, yet is ranked as the number three “most livable state” in the United States.  Wyoming is home to our nation’s first national park, Yellowstone, and the country’s first national monument, Devil’s Tower.  Nearly 50% of the entire state is owned by the federal and state governments.  With its 2 national parks, 10 national forests, and 10 downhill ski areas, there is no denying that Wyoming is all about the outdoors.  If hunting, fishing, hiking, horseback riding and camping are your things, then the cowboy state is your state and the Double D Ranch is your kind of ranch.

The property on which the Double D Ranch is currently located was once the buffalo hunting grounds of the Arapaho, Oglala and Cheyenne Indian tribes.

In 1859, the Bureau of Indian Affairs agreed to establish a permanent reservation for the Oglala tribe on a large parcel of land extending from outside of present day Glenrock to Box Elder Canyon, and included the area now occupied by the Double D Ranch.  However, the United States Senate refused to ratify the Deer Creek Treaty, which sought to establish the reservation.

Many historians believe that the Senate’s failure to ratify the Deer Creek Treaty, which would have established Indian reservations for several of the Plains Indian tribes may have been the impetus for the Indian wars of the 1860s.
