We are excited to share the episode of Debbe Dunning’s Dude Ranch Round-Up featuring C Lazy U Ranch! You can watch the full episode here, but you’ll have to create an account with RFD-TV to watch it.
You can watch a short clip here.
We are pleased to share coverage of C Lazy U from The Daily Beast entitled ‘We’re trying our best to make lemonade’ – Destinations devastated by wildfires try to adapt. The story, which features C Lazy U as its main focal point, illustrates the difficulty of operating a tourist destination in western states but also offers a hopeful perspective and touches on “interactive ecology,” encouraging future guests to interact with the destinations in their most natural state.
We’re excited to share that C Lazy U Ranch is included in the story, 18 Best Honeymoon Resorts and Hotels in Colorado, from Brides. The inclusion makes mentions of rich traditions of the American West for more than a century and how honeymoon adventures at C Lazy U can be high-octane or leisurely with a variety of programming.
In this wonderful article published by the website The World’s Best Fly Fishing Ranches and Lodges, they list 5 reasons why fly-fishing is a great sport for women! They mention how C Lazy U Outfitters welcomes women, families and groups in our guided fly fishing program. We are also one of the few Orvis-endorsed fly fishing lodges in Colorado.
As noted on Denver7, the C Lazy U Ranch is donating the burned bronze plaque from the historic barn that was destroyed in the East Troublesome fire of 2020. The recipient of the plaque is called “Troublesome Stories,” and it’s an exhibit to help visitors understand the impact of the East Troublesome Fire while protecting residents from reliving the harrowing disaster. For more information (and a photo of the plaque) about how the East Troublesome Fire impacted the ranch, visit our Raise the Barn page.
As a member of the Dude Rancher’s Association, C Lazy U Ranch was included in an article in Cowgirl Magazine that was sponsored by the Dude Rancher’s Association.
We are happy to share that as a result of Ranch’s reopening announcement, the C Lazy U has been included in the May/June issue of Colorado Expression.
We are thrilled to share coverage of our Executive Chef Cory Untch in the Wall Street Journal Off Duty section, as well as on WSJ.com. The piece, highlighting bucolic hotel restaurants and how they survived (thrived) during the pandemic, profiles C Lazy U and Chef Cory alongside equally impressive and notable chefs, such as Hugh Acheson and Claudette Zepeda.
Also known as “Gramping,” skip-gen vacations are those where the kids vacation with the grandparents and the parents are not along. Freelance writer Allison Tibaldi included the C Lazy U Ranch as an ideal all-inclusive resort destination for these types of vacations. The article was published on Family Vacationists‘ website!
UPDATE: Allison’s story was also published on USAToday.com! Read the story on USA Today

If you ask most people when to visit a Colorado dude ranch or all-inclusive western resort, they’ll say summer. Because the cowboy spirit is all about long days, sunny trails, and wildflower-filled meadows, right? But if you ask seasoned travelers — or guests who’ve experienced it firsthand — they might have a different response: March.…
