Maps and Transportation InfoAs you plan for your arrival into Colorado and head to C Lazy U Ranch it is important to note that there is no horseback riding or guided activities on the day of arrival. Please plan accordingly and if your flight arrives early in Denver our concierge can recommend a number of things to enjoy as you venture west into the Rocky Mountains before our 3:00pm check-in time.
8,500 Acres of Rich Colorado History
C Lazy U has operated as a guest ranch for over 100 years, having opened in 1919. The ranch is filled with rich Colorado history and modern western accommodations and experiences, such as horseback riding, fishing and homemade but gourmet meals.
Inclusive Luxury for Adults, Kids and Families
The per person rate at the ranch includes your luxury accommodations, seasonal kid’s program, gourmet dining, horseback riding and most activities on the ranch.
Cozy Cabins Perfect for Your Ranch Vacation
You will stay in beautifully appointed, newly renovated and spacious cabins that guarantee first-class comfort, western elegance and solitude.
Horseback Riding, Fly Fishing, Snowtubing & More
Our per person rate includes a myriad of activities. Of course, you can supplement your dude ranch vacation with additional activities not provided in the per person rate.
Gourmet Meals for the Most Discerning Palates

Supervised Kid’s Program With Counselors

The Mercantile:
If you forget to pack something, don’t worry! You can always head to the ranch store, The Mercantile at Luis’ Old Place, to pick up anything you may have missed. We have everything from toothpaste to the perfect boots for horseback riding.
Stay Hydrated:
C Lazy U Ranch is at an altitude of 8,200 feet, which can contribute to dehydration. We provide all guests with reusable water bottles to fill with the fresh mountain spring water available throughout the ranch, but we suggest hydrating before coming to Colorado. 
All the Gear You Need:
For all of our various ranch activities such as fishing, mountain biking, tennis, trap shooting and archery, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, ice skating and hockey, we have the gear you will need. If you are not sure whether or not to bring something, call the Ranch Concierge at 970-887-3344.
Pack for All Weather
The ranch is beautiful in all seasons, but Colorado weather can be unpredictable. Pack layers, including long-sleeve shirts, jeans, raincoats and sweatshirts, that are easy to wear and carry out on the trail.
Don’t Forget Sunscreen & Sunglasses
There is approximately 25% less protection from the sun at this altitude so don’t forget these items—even in the winter!
Guests Staying in Denver Before or After the Trip
If you need a place to stay before you head up the mountain to your C Lazy U dude ranch vacation, we recommend the Four Seasons.
The C Lazy U Ranch will be happy to plan and book your stay at the Four Seasons in Denver at a preferred rate. Please call the ranch concierge at 970-887-3344.
