Hosts

Jonathan Boyer and Kimberly Coats

In 2017, Jonathan “Jock” Boyer and his wife, Kimberly Coats, returned to Wyoming, and Jock’s childhood home, after spending a decade in Rwanda running the Rwandan National Cycling Team. Jock’s boyhood dream has always been to return to the ranch and share it’s special gifts with friends and guests from around the world. The Boyer YL Ranch has been in the Boyer family since 1905.

In 2018, Jock and Kimberly will open the ranch gate to guests, reunions, retreats, camps, and other special events. Jock and Kimberly look forward to welcoming you with their own unique style of warm Wyoming hospitality.

Jock and Kimberly have received solace and were rejuvenated with every visit to the ranch while they were living in Rwanda. When they left Africa, they wanted to make this a place for all people to experience what they experienced on the short breaks back to the USA, specifically here. Consider this your home when you’re here. Explore, hike, bike, relax, picnic, and play tennis, whatever makes you happy. That atmosphere is what the Boyer YL Ranch strives to foster. If you want to hang out and learn more about the ranch, Jock and Kimberly will give you a tour of the main house. If you want to know about cycling in Africa, Jock and Kimberly are happy to share their stories.

Jock and Kimberly are here to make sure you have a great time. The family ranch is over 100 years old and some of the buildings are as well so things break, it happens, but Jock and Kimberly are here to take care of any problems that may arise. Jock and Kimberly may be reached in the cabin labeled (Boyer YL Office) to the left of the Main House.

The Boyer YL Ranch sits on more than 600 acres and is adjacent to Medicine Bow National Forest and miles of BLM in Wyoming, USA.
