Activities

Vacations are supposed to be fun! 

In addition to horseback riding, we provide a range of activities for families, adults, and kids and let you decide how to spend your day.

You may prefer to stake out a spot on the porch to read a book.  It's up to you.

Our naturalist program provides families with numerous activities to share - hikes, birding, wild flowers, star gazing, orienteering, and more. Other programs allow kids to leave their parents and go off to explore some aspect of the west with a responsible guide. Adults are welcome, but not required.

Hiking on Crazy Mountain.  Fascinating rock formations abound.
"We have had an unbelievable week.  Special thanks to Chad for his many lessons in compassing, his nature hikes, tie dying, roping, beavers, and animal tracking."

Just ask and one of our experienced ranch hands will teach you how to swing a rope.

Just ask and our wranglers will teach you how to rope. Roping isn't too tough.

The river is an enticing place to play on warm afternoons. The swimming hole behind our lodge is a favorite.  It's deep enough for a swim, or a float in an inner-tube.  And the hot tub is just a few feet away if you want to follow your swim with a warm soak.

Everybody enjoys a casual float down the river. Fun and safe, the water is only a few feet deep.  Photo copyright 2002, Sean Smith. Cool water on a warm afternoon.

And if you are looking for some white water excitement, check out Rocky Mountain Adventures.  They offer river raft trips on various rivers around Colorado.  Our location makes a raft trip during your stay one long day.  So we suggest you plan a trip for the morning of the day you arrive, the afternoon of the day you leave, or for another day before you visit the ranch.   Our guests have had nothing but good things to say about the folks at RMA.  Call them at 800-858-6808 to make your arrangements.

Country western music is alive at the Laramie River Dude Ranch.
At least once a week evening entertainment comes to the Laramie River Dude Ranch. It could be a cowboy picking on his guitar - and the audience, or it could be a fiddle player.  It could be a cowboy poet.  It's always fun for the whole family.
 
Square dancing is alive and well at the Laramie River Dude Ranch.   Everyone is invited including our crew.  No experience necessary - the more mistakes we make the more fun we're going to have!!

Old time photos are one way LRR helps you to remember your trip. It's all in the props, of course, and we have all sorts including a fine array of feather boas for the ladies.
Old time photos are taken twice each week.  Photo copyright 2011, Sean Smith.
Kids explore the rivers... Kids get a chance to spend time exploring the outdoors.  Our location provides numerous opportunities for poking around.

"The staff could not have been more friendly and were wonderful with our children."
