HLR Holidays
Enjoy Thanksgiving at the Ranch
Sometimes a season ends before we make the most of it. If this fall's hunting season escaped you then follow in the Pilgrims' footsteps and take time to give thanks.
Spend Thanksgiving with your family at The High Lonesome Ranch.
Out here on the Western Slope you and your family can enjoy some quality time together. We have a wide variety of outdoor activities, and there is something for everyone. How about a walk-up bird hunt for five different game birds or a horseback ride with a sampling of local wines and cheeses? Make unforgettable memories with an evening horse-drawn wagon ride. When the evening chill sets in, curl up under a wool blanket until we build a roaring fire and drink hot cider followed by appetizers.
Start Thanksgiving morning with a traditional Turkey Shoot. There's no shortage of fun and prizes are awarded to the winners. Afterwards enjoy a cooking demonstration with Executive Chef Jordan Asher who will show you how to prepare the most exquisite Thanksgiving meal you've ever tasted. (He may even upstage Grandma's favorite family recipes, but you be the judge.)
The High Lonesome Ranch is a place where sporting passions and family life overlap and afford sportsmen the best of both worlds. And without question that is truly one reason to offer thanks.
Available dates: November 20-30

Get Ready for Christmas at the Ranch
When it comes to spending time with your family and friends, nothing but the best will do. This year, start celebrating the holidays with a festive visit to The High Lonesome Ranch.
Enjoy a wide variety of smashing holiday activities. How about a day of exquisite boutique shopping in nearby Aspen? Or a vigorous trek through the snowy ranch terrain followed by a soak in the warm, soothing waters of the world-renown Glenwood Hot Springs? If you prefer a sleigh ride we'll hitch our draft horses and pull you through a veritable winter wonderland.
Outdoor recreation is always an option at The High Lonesome Ranch. Head off the ranch to near by Powder Horn or Snowmass mountains for downhill skiing. Shoot a round of sporting clays. Big game hunting for cow elk is still in season as is our five species of upland bird hunting over our outstanding English pointers and labs.
The High Lonesome Ranch. Where ordinary just isn't good enough.

Spend Christmas with Us
Holidays have one thing in common: warmth. It's the warmth that comes from spending time with people you love. Or the warmth that comes from a child's smiling face. Fireplaces, candles, and the sweet smell of cookies baking in a hot oven. Hot chocolate. Wool sweaters and boots. Home doesn't always have to be at your house. It's where you and your family find warmth together.
We invite you to spend this special time of the year with us at The High Lonesome Ranch. Celebrate some of your own Christmas traditions and allow us to share in some of ours. Trim a freshly cut Christmas tree, build gingerbread houses from scratch, and hear how our forebears celebrated this most wonderful time of the year in Colorado past.
Spend a day walking around historic Aspen or soaking in 90-degree mineral water in the thermal cure at Glenwood Springs. Work off those extra calories by skiing, snowshoeing, or walking behind a champion bird dog. There are many activities to choose from.
At The High Lonesome Ranch we worry about the details so that you won't have to. This Christmas, come and enjoy our warmth. Make this Christmas unforgettable.
Available dates: December 19-26 (4 nights minimum)

Relax with us after Christmas
Sometimes we all feel a let down that comes during the time following the high points of Christmas traditions. The weeks of celebrations, parties and festivities are fun, but they can also be exhausting. Come spend a few days at The High Lonesome Ranch and rejuvenate. We've got a tremendous number of activities for you to choose from.
From skiing at our local Powder Horn or on the slopes of the world-class Snowmass to snowshoeing or wing shooting at the ranch, we'll be sure to get you and your family some crisp mountain air. Read by a roaring fire or pamper yourself with a day trip to Glenwood Springs. Thermal cures and massage therapy are a great way to unwind.
It's always fun to have something to look forward to, particularly after Christmas. At The High Lonesome Ranch we'll help you unwind after Christmas and recharge just in time for New Year's Eve!
Available dates: December 26-29 (3 nights minimum)

Ring in the New Year at the Ranch
New York has the dropping ball, Sydney has a blaze of fireworks, and Dublin has the Christchurch bells. In the Colorado Rockies we have cowboy celebrations. We cordially invite you to usher in the New Year with a traditional Cowboy Black and White!
Make resolutions and ring in the New Year in black and white Western attire. Enjoy an exquisite dinner celebration, champagne, entertainment and our own ranch fireworks at midnight.
A wide variety of activities go along with your stay at The High Lonesome Ranch. Choose from a rejuvenating mineral bath in the Glenwood Springs thermal baths, a trek in snowshoes, a horse-drawn sleigh ride, or a round of sporting clays.
