A Typical Day During Fall Vacations at C Lazy U Ranch
Fall Mornings at the Ranch
Everyone gathers together in the early morning to perk up with a cup of Cowboy Coffee and a hearty ranch-style breakfast. Once everyone has a full belly, guests set off for the day’s adventure. There is always plenty to do: mountain biking through our dense trails, going on a horseback riding in the crisp autumn air, or simply spending time with the family.
Afternoons at the Ranch
Fall vacation packages for groups, couples, and individuals are available to allow guests to really take a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Plan the perfect corporate retreat with teambuilding exercises that truly brings everyone together.
When you’re not busy in meetings, you can learn how to take your horseback riding skills to the next level, even if you’ve never ridden a horse before. Learn how to care for horses and participate in trail riding and horsemanship clinics (offered on a space-available basis), which allow guests a chance to boost confidence and prepare for any challenges that lay ahead.
If horseback riding isn’t your preferred activity, there are plenty more activities from which to choose:
- Fly fishing: Catch rainbow, brown and brook trout in private stretches of Willow Creek.
- Mountain biking: Speed through the golden forest with provided mountain bikes and gear.
- Archery: Practice your aim and challenge yourself to hit the bullseye!
- Spa: Relax in the award-winning Lazy You Spa with a facial or massage.
In addition to C Lazy U’s 8,500 acres, we can also make arrangements for other fun fall activities in the area such as golfing, hot air ballooning and whitewater rafting. Hunters can book guided hunting trips right on CLU property, where trophy-sized wildlife is abundant. For more about our hunting vacations, visit the C Lazy U Outfitters website.
Evenings at the Ranch
Evenings are just as exciting at C Lazy U Ranch, with a special gourmet meal planned for adults that offers an expertly curated wine list as well as cocktails, beer and plenty of conversation. Afterwards, there are games, music and other evening activities to round out the day before retiring to bed — until it’s time to do it all over again.
Fall Adventures for the Kids
If you’re taking the kids on last-minute fall vacation before school starts or simply to surprise them, a dude ranch vacation is the perfect way to keep them entertained. Fall vacations are meant for families, and so we ensure that parents and kids can spend the entire day together on family trail rides and other family-friendly ranch activities.
We bring back the Children’s Program during holiday weekends like Labor Day, where children are broken up into age groups so that they can participate in ranch activities specifically tailored to them:
- Horseback riding
- Scavenger hunts
- Hay rides
- Paddle boating
- And much more!
In the evenings, the kids eat dinner with each other (and the counselors) before everyone comes back together for evening entertainment.
Before you say goodbye to the freedom of summer, go on a fall getaway to the C Lazy U luxury guest ranch in Colorado to marvel at the colorful landscape and majestic mountains — and take a breather before you resign yourself to a busy autumn schedule.
