Bridger-Teton National Forest · Wyoming
Overview As the original Sherman Ranger Station built around 1929, this bunkhouse was used as a seasonal/ summer headquarters for early Forest Service management of timber and rangelands. The Sherman Guard Station and Bunkhouse is nestled in the Horse Creek drainage in a beautiful mountain setting with lots of hiking, bird watching, many verities of wild life, flowers and so much more. In the winter, Horse Creek is a saught out destination for snow machining.

Because sites are booked months ahead, a steady share of reservations get cancelled as trips fall through. Each cancellation instantly returns that site and those nights to the official calendar — first-come, first-served, no waitlist, no announcement. Refreshing the booking page yourself, every few minutes for weeks, works in theory. In practice, the people who get these sites are the ones who hear about the opening first.
