The majority of our guests arrive on Sunday and receive a tour of the ranch and accommodations. After your tour, you will settle into your accommodations and meet with the wranglers, who will assess your horseback riding ability. Whether this is your first experience on a horse or an experienced rider, you will be paired with your horse partner for the week.  Your ranch hosts will join you at dinner where you'll get the run down for the week. Remember, this is your vacation so you can participate in as many or as few activities as you please.

All Grand County Colorado dude and guest ranches are located at approximately 7,500 feet above sea level. So, whether it's your first time at a dude guest ranch or you are a returning guest, being prepared is key.  At higher altitudes, the sunrays are not filtered as well by the atmosphere. The result is cooler temperatures combined with increased light intensity.  Please be sure to download and review our recommended packing list and high altitude information page.
