All Inclusive Vacations At Our Colorado Dude Ranch

As you enter the Elk River Valley, just beyond Steamboat Springs, Colorado, you may notice the peaked eaves of the barns, the storybook crest of Hahn's Peak in the distance, and the feeling that you are going back in time to a more idyllic landscape, one that hasn't changed much in 100 years. No condos. No streetlights. Just Colorado as you hoped it would be, and as it once was. Big ranches. Blue skies. Real cowboys.

And tucked away at the far end of the valley, where the Elk River flows from the Sawtooth Range, lies a hidden Relais & Chateaux gem, one of the West's best dude ranches, and a family-friendly summer vacation paradise, offering year-round multi-sport adventures, legendary horseback riding vacations, Orvis-endorsed fly fishing, and Colorado Winter Vacations made in sparkling powder heaven. If you are looking for the True West, (but with gourmet cuisine), this is the American West at its best.
