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.

This Spring Break, break out of the ordinary and enjoy the C Lazy U ranch lifestyle. Our ranch was named “The Best Dude Ranch to Visit in Winter” and you’ll see why as soon as you arrive.

Packed with activities for the entire family, you can choose to spoil yourself at our top-rated spa, embark on a fun-filled horseback ride or take in the majestic views of the Rocky Mountains on a cross-country skiing adventure–all while our chef prepares amazing gourmet meals for you daily.

  • Horseback Riding (NO horseback riding on Sunday)
  • Snowmobiling**

There comes a point on a lot of resort weekends where you realize you didn’t actually escape anything. All the BS and frustrations have followed you to paradise, and you’re still stuck waiting on dinner reservations, scrambling to reserve a pool chair, and listening to the cacophony blasting out of a stranger’s iPad speakers.

From the Horse's Mouth

We arrived late at night and received the warmest welcome of any vacation experience we have ever had. We were a little lost, it was dark but someone walked up to our car in the freezing cold (I think it was Taylor, the night manager) and said "Hello, we have been waiting for your arrival. Welcome Borsari family. You must be hungry, we have your plates waiting for you upstairs. Come on up to the lodge when you are ready and we will have your dinner waiting. Don't worry about checking in, we can take care of all that tomorrow. Come and get warmed up." My husband and I actually wanted to cry. LOL! we were all starving and he read our minds. The welcome was the warmest we have ever received, anywhere.
