Excursions
• Rafting on the Cache la Poudre River, through the splendid canyon where French furtrappers once hid their gunpowder, is a class III whitewater adventure. There is no additional charge for rafting.
• Rocky Mountain National Park is a terrific day trip offering spectacular views. Trail Ridge Road, North America's highest paved road, can be reached by car in 2 very scenic hours. Hiking into the Park from the north, a short drive from the ranch, is gorgeous and easy.
• 111th Cheyenne Frontier Days (July 18 - July 27, 2008) boasts a daily rodeo called "The Daddy of 'Em All," top evening entertainment by the biggest names in country music, shopping at art and western merchandise booths, educational exhibits, food, a carnival, and all-around fun.
• Laramie's Old Town has many charming shops, galleries and restaurants. The Wyoming Territorial Prison Park (where Butch Cassidy was a guest) delights tourists. Jubilee Days in early July is a miniature Frontier Days, with PRCA rodeos, street dances, and other events.
• Steamboat Springs is a glorious two-hour drive, over Cameron and Rabbit Ears passes. It's the home of cattle ranches, hot springs, and a major skiing area, which in the summer features an alpine slide, mountain biking, gondola rides, music festivals and more.

Laundry We do have facilities on the ranch, and schedule a couple of times during the week for guests to do a load or two, if necessary. Most of our multiple-week guests use a laundry drop-off service in Laramie on the Sunday in between their weeks.

Phones/Cell Phones We have a phone line in the Lodge for guests to use to make collect or calling-card calls, or to use with their laptop. Our phone service is pretty reliable; cell phones do not work in our valley.

BYOB We do not have a liquor license; guests may bring their own beer/wine/spirits to enjoy during their stay. We provide ice, mixers, etc., during the social hour before every dinner. On Sundays Wyoming sells liquor; Colorado does not.

No pets, please

"Now just where are you guys, anyway - Wyoming or Colorado?!"
We're located in Colorado, about 20 miles south of the Colorado/Wyoming border. We have a Wyoming address (as that's the closest post office) and a Colorado phone number - a bit confusing, but well worth it to live in our gorgeous valley!
