BAR
LAZY J Guest Ranch is
nestled in a peaceful valley along the banks of the Colorado River.
Opened in 1912, BAR LAZY J is considered the oldest continuously operating
guest ranch in the state. The ranch has a fascinating history and
you will enjoy stepping into the past. While the original lodge and
cabins have been modernized, the look and charm of the "old west"
still remains. We are proud that BAR LAZY J was one of three Colorado
guest ranches recently featured in the book "Old-Time Dude Ranches
Out West" by Elizabeth Clair Flood. We can accommodate 42 guests in
cozy, comfortable log cabins. The cabins can sleep from two to eight
and all have
screened porches with a view of the Colorado
River. Relaxation is what we offer at BAR LAZY J. The pace is slower
... or not at all. The choice is always YOURS as to what you participate
in. Our guest ranch is open May through September .
