Story
“Pine-scented evenings and trails that feel like your own.”
A hidden gem nestled in the pines — cabins, fishing, and mountain trails.
The places we send guests
The Wagon BoxFood
The beating heart of Story — a rustic inn, pub, coffee bar, and live-music yard tucked in the ponderosa pines. Great American cooking, hand-crafted cocktails, and a fire pit under the stars. Reason enough to book a Story cabin.
Penrose Trailhead (Trail #033)Hiking & Biking
Starts at the Story Fish Hatchery and climbs from about 5,000 to 9,000 feet into the Bighorns. Parking is the only amenity, and there is no camping.
Piney Creek (Rock Climbing)Recreation & Play
Quietly becoming one of Wyoming's finest climbing destinations — solid rock and cool pine shade minutes from Story. Bring your own gear and beta; this is a locals' spot, not a guided crag.
South Piney Creek (Story fishing)Lakes & Fishing
Cold, clear trout water in the Story pines by the fish hatchery — one of the most charming small streams in the county.
Story / Piney Creek Wildlife ViewingCulture & History
The pines around Story are thick with deer, turkeys, and birds — a slow evening drive or walk is its own quiet reward.
Story Fish HatcheryLakes & Fishing
Feed the trout, watch the raceways, spend a free and easy half-hour. A guaranteed kid-pleaser in the pines at Story.
Don't miss
Story is tiny, intentional, and utterly magical. Piney Creek runs cold and clear, the Wagon Box serves legendary plates under the ponderosas, and Fort Phil Kearny's frontier history sits five minutes away.
