Dude Ranch

Our week-long Dude Ranch Colorado trips start on Sundays with a High Lonesome Ranch welcome and orientation and end on Saturdays, often with families’ being fully bonded to one another, their wranglers and especially to their horses. Horses are an integral part of ranch life, and at The High Lonesome Ranch we’ve got an assortment of equestrian activities for all levels of riders.

There is always something interesting to do at The High Lonesome Ranch. Even disgruntled teenagers turn their frowns upside down when they step foot on the ranch. The open space, equestrian activities and delicious food make for a powerful combination, one that everyone remembers for a long time to come.

Dude Ranch Colorado style. We at the ranch are proud to be an official full member of the Colorado Dude & Guest Ranch Association.
