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 & 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 as well as 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 experiences to enjoy include shooting sports, unlimited hiking, pool & hot tub use, rafting and even the Durango rodeo. Whether you are traveling alone, as a couple, a large family or hosting a corporate retreat- there is something that will pique everyone's interest at Colorado Trails Ranch. The mission of Colorado Trails Ranch is to provide an exceptional experience for all who step onto the property. From guests to staff members to vendors, our goal is to create positive interactions that each individual will find enriching and inspiring. Utilizing our animals and the natural world around us, every person should leave feeling more refreshed, more educated and more confident in themselves and the direction of their lives.
