May Horseback Riding: What to Expect

  • No horseback riding on check-in and check-out days.
  • All rides are paced for the least experienced rider in the group, and if children are riding, the ride may be walk-only. Trail conditions also determine whether trotting and/or loping will be allowed.
  • This event does not include cattle working. If you are interested in our Cattle Sorting Clinic, consider booking one of our week-long summer stays occurring mid-June to mid-August.

All the magic of C Lazy U — in a perfectly paced getaway

Spend a few meaningful days at C Lazy U with a short-stay experience created for families who want time together without the week-long commitment. Enjoy a rare short-stay opportunity that blends luxury, adventure, and meaningful moments — all at your own pace.

  • Luxury lodging nestled in the heart of the Colorado Rockies
  • Gourmet, chef-prepared meals featuring farm‑to‑table flavors
  • Access to nearly all ranch activities, from scenic trail rides to family‑friendly adventures

From the Horse's Mouth

I have never been to a place where EVERY employee is so nice!!! Everyone I encountered was kind, had a good attitude, and went out of their way to be helpful. That shows a lot of attention to detail. Also the activities were amazing. The food was also excellent. My kids did not want to leave. This was one of the best vacations I have been on! Thank you all so much. The water bottle and chapstick was a nice touch. They both came in handy.
