A Guest Ranch Experience in the Colorado Rocky Mountains!
Located just northeast of the historic mining town of Durango, this 1000-acre property has provided an exceptional horse program, fly-fishing expeditions, chef-prepared local cuisine, and all-inclusive dude ranch vacations since 1960. The ranch’s main attraction, horseback riding, remains its biggest draw, offering everything from riding lessons to exciting rodeo games. However, horseback riding is just the beginning. The ranch boasts two miles of private water on the Florida River and stocked ponds for the perfect day of guided fly-fishing for trout. The ranch's "downtown’ area--a replication of a small Western town--is filled with fun amenities like a dance hall, a ruckus room complete with games, a gift shop, and even an authentic soda fountain, which is the perfect place to cool off after an exhilarating day in nature. Other enjoyable experiences include shooting sports, unlimited hiking, pool and hot tub use, rafting, and even the Durango rodeo. Whether you are traveling alone, as a couple, as a large family, or hosting a corporate retreat, Colorado Trails Ranch has something to pique everyone's interest. The mission of Colorado Trails Ranch is to provide an exceptional experience for all who step onto the property.
