June 7-11 is Work Week at the Grand Teton Climbers' Ranch. If you volunteer for those five days then you can stay free for the entire month. I did that once and wound up staying through the end of August. Work Week is a great time to meet climbing partners and get inspired by the frosty peaks looming above.

If you want a different kind of perspective on life at the Ranch, read this.

I never became much of a climber but I've enjoyed the Ranch for more than 30 years now. Its hard for me oepning our own palce in mid June too but I will try tog et over Togwotee again for just a day. They put me in the Paper last year! LOL.
