About Us

About Jake Skeen, Founder/ Owner/ Guide

Welcome to Beartooth Rides and Guides!

My wife, our two boys, and I call Cody, Wyoming, home. We’re passionate about exploring the outdoors, from the majestic mountains to the sprawling deserts of the Southwest.

Beartooth Rides and Guides has been a dream I’ve held for many years. As a full-time guide, I’ve spent over 20 years experiencing the beauty of the Western seasons. My journey began as a river guide, navigating many of the West’s incredible rivers. Summer months often find me on the Colorado River, guiding adventures through the Grand Canyon. Come hunting season, I switch gears to Northwest Wyoming.
 
Winter brings a different kind of adventure: playing in the snow! We’re a family of riders, skiers, boaters, and motorheads, and as my boys grow older and show more interest, I’ve begun introducing them to the world of snowmobiling. Growing up, snowmobiling with my dad was a cherished tradition. At 18, I finally got my own sled, solidifying my love for this exhilarating activity.
 
There’s something truly special about floating through fresh powder, covering a vast country in minutes that would take hours by horse or days on skis. My hope for Beartooth Rides and Guides is to provide a way for others to come out and enjoy the Beartooth Mountains in a fun and safe way. We offer fun and safe adventures in the majestic Beartooth Mountains.
 
Beyond the thrills, we aim to equip you with valuable skills. Through our programs, you’ll gain the knowledge and confidence to become more informed advocates for our multi-use public lands.
 
Join us and discover the magic of the Beartooth Mountains!
