Why now?

Sometimes it's in the small, even insignificant, things that we find the most beauty.

Right about now I’d imagine that you are thinking ,“Why on earth would I want to go on a vacation now?  The DOW has us on edge, the economy is swirling furiously around us, and dozens of voices are clamoring for us to use less and conserve more.  How do I take a vacation now?”  To know the answer, you must understand what some of the goals and the purposes of dude ranches are.  Our goal is to give you a good time… something much needed when the cares of the world are so distressing.  Our purpose is to preserve the wild but faded spirit of the west.

Now, more than ever is a time to return to the roots of the rugged and untamed freedom upon which this nation was raised.  A time to find fixed places in a spinning world.   Escape to the quiet and peace of these places… set apart from the chaos of everything else.  The clear blue skies, drifting cotton clouds, and rolling green lands… ever changing, still the same, and always beautiful.

Many guest ranches offer stays of less than a week.  This seems to be popular at first glance, but I have found that people often regret doing this… wishing that they had instead decided to take the whole week.  Most people stay 6 or 7 days at the ranch of their choice to spend as much time with their families as they can manage.  The quiet and simplicity of a vacation at a Colorado guest ranch just makes the rest of the world not seem quite so bad.
