| RECREATION |
|
| Horseback riding is the main summer activity on the ranch. Every week we offer trail rides, horsemanship classes, and cattle working. When you want a break from the horses, there is guided hiking and fly fishing available. The week's evening activities include a cookout hayride, barn dance, roping demonstration, dinner show, rodeo (mid-summer only), and camp fire. Winter activities include cross country skiing, snowshoeing, and sleigh ride. The downhill ski resort in Steamboat Springs is 18 miles away, close enough ski all day and return to the ranch in the evening. |
|
| FOR CHILDREN |
|
| In the summer, the Home Ranch features a comprehensive and flexible children's program with activities geared to group size and ages. Barn animals, crafts, games, swimming nature walks, scavenger hunts and fishing are just a few of the activities available for the younger ones. There is an early children's dinner offered four days a week with supervision available while the adults enjoy a later dinner. Note: only children 6 and over are eligible to come to the ranch. |
