Sylvan Dale Guest Ranch has been featured by Loveland Pulse as a local organization making our community great! This season, Pulse is dedicated to spotlighting businesses that bring value and connection to Northern Colorado, and we are so grateful to be included. Here’s what Pulse had to say about Sylvan Dale: “Sylvan Dale brings a level of adventure, relaxation, and history to the community by providing a mountain getaway filled with fun. We are thrilled to serve them by providing fiber-fast connections.” Huge thanks to Pulse for your support and commitment to local businesses. Together, we’re making our community stronger!
One of the highlights of the year, which happens twice during summer, is our cattle drive week. The steers are pushed up into higher ground where the temperatures are cooler and the grass greener, where they will spend the summer roaming the high country in peace and quiet. Around late July early August, we ride up there to find them and push them back down to the ranch once again. It's one of those events in your life that leaves long lasting memories.
We've got a few spots open for the July 28th -Aug 3rd cattle week, so if you're looking to collect some amazing memories, check out our website for more information. Link in bio.
Breakfast ride to Eagle ridge on day two starts nice and early ...but it's so worth it!

Quite a few members of the herd are missing from this clip due to an overnight Backcountry trip, but can you spot any of your favorites from the morning jingle?

What can your kids expect on the first morning of a #duderanchvacation
A filling, healthy breakfast (or unhealthy based on the 7 rashers of bacon I spotted on a little girls plate once 🤣).
A run around in beautiful weather with new found friends before a wagon ride to the barn. There, they will meet their horse (which they will ride for the rest of their stay), learn our barn rules, get a portrait and some instruction & arena time, and when everyone feels ready, they'll head out on their first trail ride.
It's a well controlled freedom that gives both parent and child the security to just enjoy their time on the ranch.

As the temperature rises, the herd retreats to the pond for an afternoon cool down.
A wonderful day of fishing with the ladies of @colorado_ cfr

When Angela from @heartjcenter.experience came to fill in some puddles last week, she got a little more help than she bargained for 🤣

Although we're not out of the woods yet, the fresh promise of spring is appearing here on the ranch. The first morning light as it hits the fishermen/women, is arriving earlier and softer than in the thick of winter, and it's a light that signifies change.
Winter & early Spring at Sylvan Dale Guest Ranch is mainly spent welcoming business retreats, and the time spent planning the year ahead can be exhausting for everyone...but as they say...all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
Stepping outside of your comfy cabin for a morning stroll along the banks of the Big Thompson River, can be just what's needed to awaken your senses, and unlock all of the possibilities & ideas for the future. If you're the type that needs a little more adrenaline to get the day started, strap on your hiking/running shoes and hit the trail, we have miles of them! Prefer two wheels over two feet? Bring your bike and let those spring breezes blow away the cobwebs. Then when it comes to getting down to business, your belly full from a hearty ranch breakfast, your mind and body clear from the most perfect start to the day, you'll be at your very best.
Now taking reservations for winter 2024/spring2025
