Winter Horseback Riding: What to Expect
- No horseback riding on check-in and check-out days.
- Winter rides are walk-only for the safety of both horses and guests. If you want to trot or lope, we recommend visiting May–October, when trail riding is more active.
- Most trails are closed in winter, but we maintain two trail areas for rides ranging 45 minutes to 1.5 hours. If you want to explore more of the ranch’s 8500+ acres in the winter you may wish to consider a snowmobile tour.
Christmas Vacation in Colorado at the Dude Ranch
Spend your Christmas vacation in the Colorado Rocky Mountains! During Christmas week, guests enjoy their own personal Christmas trees in their rooms, which have been decked out in holiday décor. In the Main Lodge, we invite everyone to decorate the large, main Christmas tree for a night of music and merriment. On Christmas Eve, Santa makes a special visit to the ranch on a horse-drawn sleigh, topping off an already-magical Colorado Christmas vacation.
Thanksgiving at the Dude Ranch
Make this Thanksgiving a memorable one by escaping to Colorado for a Western-style feast. Not only will you celebrate with your most precious loved ones, you’ll share the holiday with new acquaintances that may very well become life-long friends. A traditional Thanksgiving dinner is accompanied by a plethora of ranch activities, including horseback riding. Spend Thanksgiving away from home this year at our beautiful dude ranch. Our Colorado Thanksgiving package will not disappoint.
New Year’s at the Dude Ranch
Prepare for the New Year’s Eve bash of a lifetime at C Lazy U Ranch, which features a live band to which you can dance the night away, a mechanical bull for adventurous revelers, and carnival games. The rest of this New Year’s vacation is spent in typical C Lazy U style, with dude ranch activities such as horseback riding, cross-country skiing, and more.
