Horseback Riding

Picture yourself on a day long horse ride that ends high in the spectacular San Juans with camp ready. Supper is on the fire, and it sure smells good after the ride!

The SJGR takes pride in its comprehensive riding program and superbly trained horses. Our ARICP trained and experienced wranglers will soon have you riding like a seasoned hand, even if you've never been in a saddle before!

Listen to the wind blowing through valleys and canyons; it's the same wilderness melody that played to the Indians and the ranchers and the miners. This same song will play to your sense of adventure.

Children's Program

The sign at the entrance to the ranch reads "Speed Limit .055 MPH -Children Everywhere", and that is usually the case. Our children's program is designed for ages 5 and older (children under 5 are always welcome when cared for by a parent or nanny) and involves many varied activities. Children are supervised during the day and can participate in:

  • Comprehensive horseback riding
  • Learning how to tend baby ranch animals
  • Learn all about the ranch; gathering eggs, etc.
  • Hiking trails, waterfall visits
  • Fishing
  • Swimming in Ouray
  • Crafts using wood and paint
  • Cookie-baking
  • Wagon rides and jeep tours
  • Games, volleyball, baseball, etc.
  • A visit to town for ice cream or a movie
  • Overnighters in the yard in an authentic Indian tepee

    The ranch and surrounding area offer a paradise of activities for children and adults alike.
