So excited to showcase the ranch to the @travelingmainers

It’s Labor Day and we definitely have to celebrate our amazing staff this year. The team work, love and care that they gave was stellar and made this year one of the best!

Load’em up and move’m out!

This week we’ve had the joy of having a chapter from the @ypoglobal out at the ranch. This group helps guide and mold future professionals to become better leaders, through peer support and group experiences like this.

What a day, we have an amazing crew this year and can’t wait to get things rolling!

Blue bird skies call for a winter ride. Do you recognize this trail? If you’ve ridden at our ranch, you have probably been to this spot. It’s one of our favorites to share with our guests. 🤠

Honored to be a part of Durango’s Annual Cowboy Gathering this year 🤝

Our Story

Every dude ranch has a story behind it, and each is unique.

Colorado Trails Ranch is different from all of them and a very special place. Rather than being an adaptation of some sort of former ranch, ours was built to be a dude ranch from its very beginning in 1960.

Prior to any original construction, there were only two buildings; a tiny old barn and the anteroom portion of what was once Coney Cove dance hall, built around 1912. This log structure is still in use today as wrangler staff housing. The first few years there was only the new lodge and six Alpine cabins. A lot of growth and change has taken place over the past half of a century on this guest ranch.

In early years, guests made up their own brand, which was burned into the timber posts in the lodge. Those brands are still there, but this practice came to a halt many years ago. It was a sad end to a great Colorado Trails Ranch tradition, but necessary to protect the building from burning down.
