Spring & Summer: Sunlit Adventures and Team-Building Excitement

Western Thrills 

Summer at C Lazy U Ranch is the season of exploration. Picture your team horseback riding through lush western spaces, hiking to scenic vistas, or fly fishing in crystal-clear waters. The warmer months also bring exciting outdoor activities like mountain biking, cattle pushing, archery, and so much more. For those looking to overcome a challenge, the zip line & ropes course offers a rush in the heights, while trap shooting and hatchet throwing brings out everyone’s competitive edge.

After a day of adventure, unwind in the ranch’s heated outdoor pool, or rejuvenate in the hot tub, sauna, or cold plunges — the perfect way to wrap up a busy day.

Farm-Fresh Menu

Summer also means farm-fresh, seasonal menus designed to showcase the finest ingredients. Imagine your team sharing meals featuring locally-sourced meats and produce grown on-ranch, giving a fresh and unique touch to every dish. The luxurious dining experience is an opportunity to refuel, recharge, and pig-out, strengthening connections over hearty, delicious food that’s too good to miss.

Incredible Evenings

The warm weather not only allows for a wide range of outdoor activities, but it also creates an inviting environment for evening gatherings. Host a sunset BBQ, organize team-building games on the lawn, or simply gather around a crackling campfire to share stories and s’mores beneath the stars.

Fall & Winter: Cozy Charm and Picturesque Adventures

A Winter Wonderland for Team Bonding

If you’re planning a corporate retreat in the cooler months, C Lazy U transforms into a magical wonderland. The snowy landscape offers the chance for fun, all-inclusive activities like snow tubing, snowshoeing, and ice skating. Cross-country skiing provides a unique way to explore the peaceful beauty of the ranch, while private sleigh rides give your team a serene and memorable winter experience.

Horseback riding continues even in the winter months, offering a unique perspective as you traverse the ranch’s snowy trails. And when the day’s adventures come to a close, the hot tub and sauna provide the perfect setting to melt and unwind.

Winter Comfort Dining

The winter dining menu is hearty and comforting, inspired by European fine dining classics and Western American traditions. You’ll come together for family-style dining with warm, savory dishes designed to satisfy after a day out in the cold. Expect rich meats, freshly baked breads, and seasonal ingredients that celebrate the flavors of the year’s end along with new beginnings — and since our produce is grown in a climate-controlled FarmBox, you can still enjoy farm-fresh ingredients in all our meals. 

Team-Building in Winter

Winter’s chilly temperatures create the perfect atmosphere for cozy seasonal activities, too. The game room becomes a hub for friendly competition, while a sleigh ride backed by the Continental Divide offers a magical experience like no other. Snowmobiling and private spa sessions at the Lazy U Spa are additional options for the perfect winter escape.

From the Horse's Mouth

Brook and Alana were so wonderful and encouraging to our son. It was our visit visit to the ranch and his first time on a horse and they really took great care of him. Braley was such a joy as and so helpful on the daily. Mike was our first introduction to the ranch and through our visit he was so engaging and helpful, always had a greeting for us each day and if he didn't know the answer to our questions he made sure he would find out for us.
