Bill & Krista Burleigh and their boys
Chris and Alex welcome you to the
Laramie River Dude Ranch.

Rodeo Specials!

Each guest receives $200 cash and a FREE rodeo ticket the weeks of Laramie Jubilee Days (July 5th, 2009) and Cheyenne Frontier Days (July 19th, 2009).  Offer good for seven night stays only.


The Laramie River Dude Ranch offers genuine western hospitality far from the tension of city life.  Horseback riding is our specialty but we also have exceptional fly fishing, a unique naturalist program, a full children's program, very comfortable accommodations, and excellent food.  Visit during the summer rodeo season or for our annual cattle drive to bring out the cowboy or cowgirl in you!

Picture yourself in the majestic Rocky Mountains fishing for wild brown trout, helping our wranglers push cows between pastures, or just kicking back on the porch with a hefty glass of iced tea and a homemade cookie.  You may catch a glimpse of the antelope which roam our sage hillsides, the elk which range among the aspen, or moose which occasionally wander down the valley.

The view from Bull Mountain. Entertaining guests since 1937!

The Laramie River Dude Ranch operated as the UT Bar Dude Ranch for over forty years.  Dudes from across the country and around the world discovered the timeless beauty of our valley.  Many are our guests today, bringing their kids and grandkids to experience the American west.  Some of the ranch structures date back to the 1890s.  Newly remodeled to provide our guests with the modern amenities, the Laramie River Dude Ranch is Colorado's newest old dude ranch.
