Tarryall River Ranch
Lake George
Accommodation type: Unknown
Enjoy this region's plentiful wildlife, including bighorn sheep, elk, deer, bear and the odd mountain lion or two!
Just over 1.5 hours drive from Colorado Springs or just under 3 hours
drive from Denver International Airport. At an elevation of over 8,000
feet, the Tarryall River Ranch is set amongst aspen and ponderosa pine
trees in a stunning heritage area, near Lake George.
The magnificent Rocky Mountain scenery and the clear Colorado weather (do you know they have over 300 days of sunshine a year here?) combined with great activities await you at this family run ranch.
When it comes to ranch activities, the Tarryall River Ranch is in a class of its own. Enjoy extraordinary scenery and good company as you follow the friendly wranglers on morning and afternoon rides. Beginner? Not to worry they'll make you feel comfortable. Advanced rider? They'll match you with a horse that suits your abilities. Rides leave the ranch twice a day and head off to beautiful secluded spots.
Does a spot of fishing tickle your fancy? Well, you're in the right place. The Tarryall River runs through the front yard, and there are miles to fish. Not too far down the road is the very well known "11 Mile Canyon" where the only thing better than the fishing is the scenery!
Each week the ranch offers several choices of rafting depending on how much excitement you can handle.
All the trips are on the Arkansas River which is home to some of the best whitewater rafting in the state. You can raft through Brown’s Canyon or through the Royal Gorge, home to the world’s highest suspension bridge.
If you don't feel like taking part in the ranch activities, take a leisurely dip into the outdoor heated pool or hot tub. The kids will enjoy the western jungle gym, the volleyball court, gold panning or a stroll around the petting zoo. There's also abundant hiking trails around the ranch for all levels of fitness.
Now, when it comes to the evening, the ranch comes alive cowboy style. Evening plans range from cookouts and hay rides to western dancing and square dance. You can also relax on your porch, or by the roaring fire as you listen to a western singer. And don’t forget that special night when parents enjoy a fancy dinner in the lodge while the children have a hotdog roast and hayride, and the teens have pizza by the pool. Saturday evening is the highlight of the week with a wonderful night of camp fire singalongs, just like the movies....
