Latigo Dude Ranch

Latigo Dude Ranch is secluded and small (35 guests) - the perfect size to create a sense of "family comin' home". We are located about 9,000 feet above sea level in an environment of vast, heavy pine and spruce forest, aspen, sagebrush, huge high meadows, streams and beaver ponds. Our riding, hiking and vistas are spectacular indeed.



Horseback Riding
We have 60 horses and you will be assigned your own horse for the duration of your stay. We match the horse and rider according to ability, physical requirements and temperament. We emphasize teaching our guests how to ride well and how to enjoy horseback riding as a life-long sport. Rides are divided according to ability and advance through the various phases of equitation as rapidly as the progress of the rider allows. Individual instruction is available in the riding arena just about every day. We offer breakfast and sunset rides to an overnight pack trip.

Special Fall Programs
Improve your communications with any horse with our Horsemanship Clinic. Taught by noted western horseman and trainer Marty Marten. Limited Availability.

We also have a Cattle Roundup: help a local rancher find, gather and move hundreds of cattle from the high mountain summer pastures. Long, but rewarding days in the saddle. Experienced riders only. Limited Availability.

Groups, Meetings and Conferences
Our Dude Ranch is ideal for small group meetings. The location, high in the Colorado Rocky Mountains, encourages an especially creative atmosphere and truly productive sessions. We avoid mixing meeting groups with our regular family guests. Often meeting and conference groups can book the entire Ranch for their exclusive use. Ask what we can offer for your next meeting.

Activities, Amenities & Services

All activities are optional. You come to enjoy yourself, so do what relaxes you. Remember, you don't have to DO anything. We have special photo workshops during selected weeks in July and September.

Latigo Ranch is an Authorized Permitee on the Medicine Bow - Routt National Forest and is an Equal Opportunity Service Provider.
