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.
- Winter horseback riding trails are more limited due to the winter snow and are maintained by the horses consistently walking them to keep the trails packed and usable. Because of this, the ranch designates trails for winter riding that are closer to the main ranch compound, and with the winter elements these are typically shorter loops. If you want to explore more of the ranch’s 8500+ acres in the winter you may wish to consider a snowmobile tour or a visit during our warmer months where all the trails are open.
The holiday season is not over yet — at least not at C Lazy U! We’re always in the giving spirit, so we’re extending the celebrations at the ranch with a special post-holiday event. You’ll get the complete C Lazy U experience: luxury lodging, gourmet food and, of course, plenty of ranch activities.
Postpone going home after your magical holiday stay at the ranch, or treat yourself to an adventure before you must return to the daily grind, be it school or work. Any reason is a good one to visit a dude ranch — especially one that has been named the best dude ranch to visit in the winter by DudeRanch.com!
