LODGING
We can accommodate 42 guests in 12 cozy, comfortable cabins plus the RANCH HOUSE. Our cabins vary in size - sleeping from one to eight - and most have screened porches with views overlooking the Colorado River. Cabins are cleaned and the beds made daily. There is a coin operated laundry for our guests. Also available are accommodations in the "RANCH HOUSE".

RECREATION
Our private ¾ mile stretch of Colorado River offers some of the best trout fishing in the state. Our horseback rides take you on sage covered hills and majestic mountains with sapphire skies and crystal clear views. We offer horseback riding for all levels of riders. Other activities (all packaged in one price) include jeep rides, hiking, mountain biking and sight seeing van trips. Golf, tennis and white water rafting are available options or you can choose to lounge in our heated swimming pool, soak in our wonderful jacuzzi, grab a book from our library room, or sit and relax in the main lodge.

FOR CHILDREN
Our children's counselors lead the children (ages 3-6 and 7-12) through games, crafts, horseback riding, swimming and hiking. Children 7-12 are assigned a horse for the week and trail ride every day. Children 3-6 are lead on horseback in our arena. The children's "Ranch Fun Program" is flexible and designed to meet the needs of children in various age groups so they may be kept safe, busy and entertained. Each year we adopt a couple lambs and animals which the kids can bottle feed.

FOOD/LIQUOR
For most meals everyone gathers in the historic lodge where we serve good old American home style food. Lunches are served in our porch overlooking the Colorado River. At 7,500 feet elevation the mountain air and outdoor life provide a terrific appetite booster - so we serve em' up in cowboy sized portions. Our entrees are accompanied with delights such as homemade breads, pastries and desserts. Since our own family is split between meat and non-meat eaters, we recognize and appreciate guests' variance in appetites. With advance notice we will do our darndest to satisfy yours. We do not serve alcoholic beverages, but feel free to bring your own.
