What activities do guests do in the spring and fall?

April 20, 2026

The spring and fall seasons (April through May and September through November) are more representative of our warmer weather or summer activities. Some activities may be limited or not available during these time periods due to the seasonal conditions. Some good examples of this are fly fishing, which may be compromised by the spring runoff, and we shut down the fly fishing program in mid-October each year. Other activities that may be impacted are ropes course, zip line, hiking and mountain biking. Horseback riding in the winter and spring (typically November through April) are generally walk-only rides for safety. This also depends on the special or event that is going on, so please reach out to the ranch for more details so we can better communicate the seasonal variances depending on the activities that are most important to you.

From the Horse's Mouth

It was so wonderful. We all had a great time, but my four-year-old in particular was just thrilled with everything he got to experience. My mom asked him, "What was better, Disney World or the dude ranch?" He didn't hesitate: "Dude ranch!" And he made me pretend to be a horse doing the jingle last night when we had to come upstairs for bathtime, so he could be Brooks, one of the ranch hands we met. What a special place.
