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.

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!

Ready for blistering sun, resort pools with no elbow room, long buffet lines, and itineraries built entirely around finding a halfway decent spot on the sand?  Look, there’s nothing wrong with a family beach vacation, but the trappings of such an affair can start to grate without a change of pace.…

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.
