The Laramie River Dude Ranch Photo
Page connects our guests with photos taken while they were on the
ranch. Feel free to browse, order reprints, or even have your favorite
horse put on a coffee mug.
Directions & Transportation
There are several beautiful routes from the Denver airport to the ranch.
Download our directions for details.
Public transportation options are limited. If you would prefer not
to drive, try Greenride Colorado, a van service that provides transportation
from the airport to the ranch on a charter basis.
River Raft Trips
We tube down the Laramie, but if you are looking for some real 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 a 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 our ranch.
Our guests have had nothing but good things to say about the folks at RMA.
Overnight Pack Trips & Hunting
We run a very popular overnight trip
on Bull Mountain
when we have sufficient interest among our guests. It's limited to
seven riding guests and includes some beautiful riding, comfortable tent
accommodations, and great food cooked on an open fire.
However, if you're looking for a pack trip of longer duration we suggest you
call our neighbor Jim Brink. A.J. Brink Outfitters runs pack trips in our neck of the
woods and around Colorado. Call him at (970)435-5707 for more
information.
Naturalist Links
Yellow Wood Guiding - If
you're planning to visit Rocky Mountain National Park, you might call Jared
Gricoskie. Jared was twice our naturalist and has now hung his own
shingle in Estes Park. His nature tours, wildlife tours, wildflower
safaris, birding and photography safaris are first class!
