“You have to love Jeanne and the team!”

Andy -- Oct 28, 2012 04:36 am
Ok, So we live in the UK and we don't have a lot of experience with horses, outdoor pursuits and the like, so to book direct with an operation that is a LONG way from us takes some nerve. Let me say UPFRONT that you could not ask for a better place to relax, ride and keep the kids entertained than this ranch. The Staff go above and beyond what they need to to make sure that your vacation is personal, but well supervised. Jeanne, Mike and the team know all about service and making you feel at eas ... more

Our Lodge - Colorado Trails Ranch, Colorado's Friendliest - southwest: durango colorado dude ranch durango
Our Lodge
We offer a full range of activities for all ages and levels. First and foremost is our horseback riding program for beginners to advanced. We match you up with the perfect horse and give you the guidance you need for rides on which you will learn something, be safe and have fun. Our rides are grouped by ability and type of ride desired. We also offer fly-fishing with instruction and fish not only on private stocked ponds, but private water on the Florida River as well as our permits for high mountain streams. The kids do most of their activities with their peers and at their level of energy. The friendships they form last a lifetime. In addition to riding and fishing, we have shooting sports, hiking, swimming, rafting, evening programs such as an ice cream social, cook-outs, square dancing and hay ride to name a few. Of course, you are welcome to relax in our peaceful, beautiful scenery.

Typical Day

CTR's dining room....where you have the best meals
The weekly stay progresses through the week. You start out with slightly shorter rides and finish the week with lunch rides and games on horseback. We start out with coffee on the porch watching the horses come into the barn from evening pasture and then move on to a full breakfast.. The head down to the corral for your morning ride. The kid will head out on a ride as well and return to a chance to fish before lunch. After lunch, the adults have an option of a fly-fishing clinic or another ride. The kids will go on a ride and then head to the rifle range and/or archery ranch. Everyone meets by the office to catch a hay ride to a cook-out dinner. After dinner the kids go off with the hay wagon and play some games while the adults sit around a campfire with a cowboy singer. The next day, you start out with breakfast in the woods and then a ride or a hike. After lunch, you can have a massage, go riding or go to the trap range. Meanwhile, the kids will ride and then go swimming to cool off. Each day offers new adventures as the week progresses.

We do not allow pets.....there are so many other animals on the ranch that strange pets do not fit in. While we welcome anyone of any age, our children's program begins at age five. Those under the age of five are just too young and small for our activities. OUr stays run from Sunday to Sunday. We do offer shorter stays with a minimum of three nights, but the stay must begin on Sunday.
