Colorado Guest Ranches
Guest ranches and the Rockies - the perfect combination. Fantastic scenery, fresh air, wholesome exercise. Make this summer the one they remember. Enjoy a family vacation at a dude ranch.
Western Ridge Resort - Livermore, Colorado. This family owned western style resort is located just outside beautiful Red Feather Lakes and is adjacent to Roosevelt National Forest.
The Resort rents horses and provides guided trail rides through the National Forest. They also allow you to bring your own horse and offer covered pens for stabling. The picture above shows one of the covered pens complete with one of our horses posing. The trails behind the Resort are excellent with 360 views of the Front Range and Rocky Mountain National Park.
The restuarant at the Resort has become THE place to eat in the area. I recommend you save room for the desert - many of which are family recipes.
We rented one of the two bedroom cabins and it was great. We had a full kitchen and dining room so we didn't have to eat out every meal - although the restaurant was so good that we ate there more than we planned.
Western Ridge also offers full hookups for camper trailers and campsites with water and grills.
