“Among the fir and pine there glistened a lake…what a sight! Tracks of elk and
deer abound. Where I sat on my horse stretched a broad, peaceful valley. I
stood closer that day to nature’s heart than ever before.”
Such was the reaction of Bryant B. Brooks, the seventh governor of
Wyoming (for whom Brooks Lake is named), in 1889 upon discovering
the valley that is now home to Brooks Lake Lodge and Spa. Not much
has changed in the intervening decades. This historic place is still as awe
inspiring as it was that day. Travel to the majestic Rocky Mountains of
Wyoming for an unforgettable stay at the secluded Brooks Lake Lodge.
You’ll enjoy enormous stone fireplaces, spectacular views, authentic
Three (3)-night stay for four (4) at world-renowned Brooks Lake
Lodge near Jackson Hole in the Shoshone National Forest
Western decor, towering fir and spruce trees and clean mountain air to
stir your senses. Within the lodge, the Rocky Mountain Spa, the Cowboy
Bar and the Governor’s Tea Room await your arrival. In the summer,
take a horseback trail ride, go game hunting, hiking or fishing. In the
winter, try a wildlife excursion, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing or ice
fishing. Whatever the season of your visit, your getaway will truly be a
memorable escape. Yellowstone National Park and the Grand Tetons are
just outside your door.
