Western Dude Ranch

If a Dude Ranch conjures up images straight out of “City Slickers,” it’s time we gave you some new images. A dude ranch like Vista Verde Ranch isn’t what you think of when you hear "dude ranch." It’s an adventure ranch right in the middle of a national forest.

Sure, there’s all the horseback riding you and your companion will expect to enjoy under the big, blue Colorado sky. But a week at the Vista Verde can include mountain biking, fly fishing, hiking, skiing, rock climbing – even world class wine tasting.

The Vista Verde is as rustic as you expect on the outside. But rustic stops at the front door. Its cabins and lodges are much more modern, elegant, and spacious than you’d expect to find so far from civilization. And the food is always first-class, with menus more attuned to a five-star restaurant than a chow wagon. In fact, during your week there, it’s likely that you’ll enjoy a hands-on cooking class or an evening feast to celebrate a particular winemaker.

If a week in this natural beauty isn’t enough, your Experience also includes two $500 Visa Gift Cards, luxury rental car, roundtrip airfare from your home city to Denver International Airport.
