Winter Horseback Riding: What to Expect
- No horseback riding on check-in and check-out days.
- Winter rides are walk-only for the safety of both horses and guests.
- Winter horseback riding trails are more limited due to the winter snow and are maintained by the horses consistently walking them to keep the trails packed and usable. Because of this, the ranch designates trails for winter riding that are closer to the main ranch compound, and with the winter elements these are typically shorter loops. If you want to explore more of the ranch’s 8500+ acres in the winter you may wish to consider a snowmobile tour or a visit during our warmer months where all the trails are open.
Celebrate the long holiday weekend in true Colorado ranch style at C Lazy U. Spend your days exploring snowy mountain trails on horseback, gliding across the ice on our Zamboni-groomed pond, and cozying up by the fire with cocktails and live entertainment. Whether you’re looking for adventure, relaxation, or simply a memorable getaway with loved ones, this three-day escape is the perfect way to honor the holiday.

Each day begins with a hearty breakfast buffet at the Main Lodge before you set out for winter ranch activities. Guests enjoy a rotating schedule of:
