Lodging

Our cozy, beautifully decorated cabins can easily accommodate families, couples, and singles. All cabins have comfortable porches and private baths for each bedroom, along with daily housekeeping. We have several different cabin styles to suit your needs. Alpine Cabins consist of two rooms. You can choose to stay in one room or two, depending on your needs. Each room has its own bathroom with tiled stall showers, entrance, and porch. Alpine Cabins have double beds, single beds, and/or bunk beds. Country Cabins are duplex units with one shared porch, individual entrances, and a total of four bedrooms and bathrooms. Each side of a Country Cabin has a room with a king bed and bathroom (with a tub/shower) adjoining a room with two sets of bunk beds (or a twin bed and bunk beds) and a bathroom (with a tiled stall shower). Mountain Cabins are duplex units with a total of four bedrooms. Each side of a Mountain Cabin has its own porch and two adjoining bedrooms (one with a king bed, the other with twin beds). Each room has a private bathroom with a tub/shower and entrance. Longview Cabin is the only cabin on the ranch with a living room (which has a pull-out couch). Longview also has a bedroom with a king sized bed, bathroom with a tub/shower, and porch.

Activities

At Colorado Trails Ranch, there's a wide range of daytime activities and instruction, horseback riding, fly fishing, swimming, rafting, hiking, shooting sports, and more... giving you the chance to try new adventures. Taking it easy is always an option too; it's up to you! You'll feel right at home on our horses, whether you're a beginner or experienced rider, enjoying the scenery as you ride through some of the most beautiful country in Colorado. Our rides are grouped by ability, age, and desire - they range from scenic walks to loping through the trees and meadows. Colorado Trails Ranch also offers a full-service fly fishing program with half-day and full-day guided trips on free-flowing streams and stocked fishing on nearby ranch ponds. Our professional guides happily work with novices and experts (and anywhere in between) to help you catch rainbow, cutthroat, brown, and brook trout. There's something to do every evening at the ranch! Activities that are included in your summer vacation are western dancing, an ice cream social, a hayride and cowboy campfire sing-along, and a Victorian Melodrama in Durango (additional charge). Or if you'd like to relax and enjoy a beautiful evening in the mountains, the choice is yours. We provide the entertainment you decide what you want to do!

Children

At Colorado Trails Ranch, your children can ride, swim, and fish. They can also go rafting & power tubing or to the petting zoo, learn archery & target shooting or arts & crafts - the program is tailored to each group, every week. Our children's and teen's program (beginning at age five up through 17 years old) is divided into three groups, each with their own counselor, so they can participate in activities with their peers at their own level of energy. They'll form friendships and feel comfortable surrounded by kids their own age. While we don't offer a structured program for children under 5, we can provide babysitting at an additional charge. Your kids will have the time of their lives as counselors lead them through a variety of activities throughout the week. And when your children are enjoying their vacation, it allows you to enjoy yours. You can join the children on their activities at any time. We also schedule family rides.

Dining

At Colorado Trails Ranch, we realize that you don't get to indulge yourself in everyday life, where food is often eaten quickly or grabbed on the run. So we pride ourselves on creating meals that are truly special food that's high-quality and upscale enough for adults, but also appealing to kids. We hear it time and time again from our guests: They say they couldn't have imagined that meals here would be so marvelous; and they rave about how talented our chef is. With advance notice, we can accommodate special dietary needs. We ask for as much information as possible before you arrive; on your first evening here, you can meet with our chef to discuss the best options for the week ahead. During the summer, we have a very family-oriented atmosphere, so we don't sell any alcoholic beverages - but you may bring your own. Or, if you'd like, we can pick up alcoholic beverages for you on Monday morning and add the cost to your bill.
