Benchmark Wilderness Ranch is just a little piece of heaven on earth. It really is. It is a pristine wilderness front range of the Rocky Mountains glorious get-away. It is completely off the grid by about fifteen miles of gravel road. This is a really good thing.
If you are looking for a spotlessly clean and just comfy enough cabin then this is your place. If your heart's desire is to retreat to a mountain cabin that still looks like it did in 1930 then this is your place. There is a hot shower and two flush type toilets so that is lovely of course. The dustpan was probably great grandma's. The pancake turner was brand spanking new in 1951. The water at the outside pump is delightfully pure and cold and clear. It brews a great cup of morning coffee. Bring good books and a fishing pole and hiking shoes and maybe an old inner tube if you'd like to float around real lazy on Wood Lake. Just know that you will never ever want to leave.

Terrible customer service and completely rude owners. Had a terrible time with them when an issue came up. They didn't want to deal with me and were completely condescending.
I have visited Augusta and the surrounding area 3 times in the last 5 years. Interesting that none of the locals I have spoken with have given this business much high regard.

We had an amazing Bob Marshall Wilderness adventure with this family run outfitter. Bridger, Cade, Amber and Brooke and family planned the perfect trip for us. Riding, fishing, camping were all excellent. Highly recommended.
