Dude Ranch Family Vacations
Live the dude ranch adventure and fall in love with the "Spirit of the West"at Sundance Trail.
Come create family adventure vacation memories that will last a lifetime!
Sundance Trail has a special quality...From the moment you arrive, you'll enjoy real down home hospitality.
This will become your ranch home, where a lifetime of memories are made.
The Roosevelt National Forest is the perfect place for a dude ranch horse back riding holiday. Sundance Trail is nestled amid the beauty of stately pines, granite outcroppings and whispering aspen groves in the heart of the Colorado Rocky Mountains.
The days are warm and filled with sunshine while the nights are perfect for sleeping under a warm comforter. After a day in the clear mountain air, you'll never get a better night's rest anywhere.
Our dude ranch video tells the whole story!
People sometimes ask: ãWhat makes the Sundance different
from other Dude Ranches?ä
This is a very good question! It can be a challenge
to decide which ranch is the best for your family.
We have visited many of our neighbor dude ranches,
and each is unique. Here are some of the aspects of the
Sundance Trail that make us little bit different:
Size:
- You will find it very easy to meet and get
to know the other guests here.
- No nametags. No crowds. No lines. Our dining
room has only four tables!
- Our ranch is one of the smallest dude ranches that we
know. We accept no more than seven families or 24 people
maximum.
- Our ranch is small, but our playground is
big. You will have a million acres of National Forest
to play!
Relaxed:
- Take off your watch. You wonât need
it. We ring the dinner bell for the most important
activities of the day!
- You will find a
weekly schedule of activities
with lots and lots to do, but youâre not locked into a rigid schedule ö every
activity is optional, and there is a good balance of ãunstructured
time.ä
- Vacations are supposed to be relaxing!
Flexible:
- You may not have ever ridden a horse before,
or
- You may own your own and ride every day
- Because we are so small, and because we
keep riding groups small, we are able to be very flexible
in our riding program and in most activities.
We love to teach:
- Our barn is an excellent place to
develop your horse skills,
- Beginners begin with the basics - most are
jogging and loping by the end of the week.
- We coach the proficient ö if
desired, coaching is always available.
- We believe that riding should be fun, should
be safe, and that learning never ends.
Not a nose-to-tail program:
- Our wranglers will never
tell you to ãget
in line.ä We donât believe in lines!
Concern for the environment:
Pet Friendly:
- We are the only pet friendly dude ranch that we know!
- Your dog, if he/she is well mannered around
children and other animals, is welcome! Give us a call
and we can discuss details.
- Your horses are also welcome! Call us about
hay, vaccinations and coggins.
Close to the airport:
- How much of your vacation
do you want to spend ãgetting thereä? Although lost
in the mountains, we are less than a two hour drive
from Denver International
Airport.
Family Orientation:
- We enjoy sharing our lifestyle with people,
especially families. We enjoy helping families play together.
- If you are looking for
a ãdrop-offä childrenâs
program, then Sundance Trail is not the right ranch for
you.
Association Memberships:
- We belong to the
- Colorado Dude and Guest Ranch Association,
- the Bed and Breakfast Innkeepers of Colorado,
- the American Association of Horsemanship Safety,
and
- the Larimer County Horseman's Association.
This means that we take pride in maintaining high standards
of guest safety, horse health, cleanliness and business
ethics.
Come Visit Us:
- This is our home, we live here and we're
open year-round.
- You are very welcome to come visit us, and
meet the staff and horses. Just give us a call!
If these differences attract you, then the
Sundance Trail may be a great fit for your vacation.
If not, feel free to give us a call, and maybe we can
direct you to one of our neighbor ranches.
We hope we have set your "dream machine" in motion and that you will contact us to learn more and plan your upcoming vacation of a lifetime! Call, write, or E-Mail us today for details and reservations.
