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.

Extend your holiday stay at C Lazy U! Come a little early and save with our early holiday rates. You’ll still enjoy luxury lodging, gourmet food and most ranch activities. Or, grab a little winter vacation fun before heading to your relatives’ house for Christmas. Either way, you’ll save on a winter holiday that DudeRanch.com ranked as the BEST Dude Ranch to Visit in Winter!
