About Us
The discovery of 6,000-year-old tools (in 1994), a history of Wapiti Meadow, and the knowledge of human habitation in the mountains of Idaho have been extended by millennia. This major archaeological find has spawned professional interest that is piecing together the life patterns of these first Americans — ancestors of the Incas, Mayans, and Aztecs.
For thousands of years, the mystique of the valley has attracted adventurous men and women including Native Americans, miners, trappers, and homesteaders. In the early 1920s, a gold-seeking homesteader sold his stake to Clark Cox. He and his wife (Beulah) bought the homestead. Later with the help of their son Lafe, they built the grand log and stone lodge, one of the first dude ranches of the Northwest.
In the five decades that followed, The Old Cox Dude Ranch grew steadily and became a warm and welcoming vacation retreat. Lafe and his wife Emma sold the ranch in the 1970s. Diana and Barry renovated it in the 1990s. Now completely refurbished, our ranch has new amenities that make it into the ultimate wilderness retreat.
