Scenery to Elevate Your Mindset

When it comes to a vacation at an authentic dude ranch, guests expect to be surrounded by the natural beauty of the great outdoors – and a workout at C Lazy U is no different. One of the best parts about the gym facility is its location. On the occasions that Mother Nature doesn’t allow guests to stay active outside, the fitness center is a nice getaway to keep your body moving. The gym is located in a quiet corner of the Patio House, and provides limited distractions and invigorating views of our surrounding 8,500 acres of natural splendor.

Our expert ranch staff provide guided mountain yoga, guided hikes, guided climbing on the rock wall and ropes course, and guided mountain biking to get guests outside and moving. Whether you’re a fitness enthusiast looking to maintain your workout regimen or someone who just wants to stay active during your vacation, C Lazy U has you covered!

From the Horse's Mouth

Julie's first Horsemanship Immersion clinic was excellent. The structure of the days and content of materials was on-point. For me personally, I got to work with horses I did not know and use my horsemanship skills to help the horses work through various exercises that they don't normally do. That was my goal for the clinic. The workshops were perfect topics, and the vet workshops were great information. There is so much to talk about and the team remained flexible to everyone's interest but kept on schedule. Julie's team is always able to work with everyone and help us grow our horsemanship skills with quick evaluation of our skills and encouraging reminders. That is what it is all about!
