Ride
the rapids of the roaring Arkansas River through the heart
of Brown's Canyon. Buena Vista is known as the "white water capital of Colorado." Enjoy a picnic lunch
at the headwaters of the Arkansas, instruction on safety and
how to get the most fun out of your run. You will be in the
hands of a thoroughly professional and bonded rafting company
who will provide fully equipped white-water rafts, expert
boatmen, and life jackets. Wetsuits and booties are available to rent for a minimal charge. Be sure to wear
sun tan lotion - we'll provide the smiles.
Our remote high mountain location
places you in the very heart of unspoiled wilderness scenery,
and in an area rich in Ute Indian and mining history. Historic Indian
battlegrounds, where prized arrowheads can still be found, are but
a short distance from the ranch. Wildflowers and wildlife are the
prizes waiting for the naturalist. Just over every rise is a ghost
town, a prospector's cabin or a mine shaft tailing left as historic
testimony of the gold and silver rush fever of more then a century
ago.
To give our guests a chance to
appreciate our region, we offer weekly vehicle trips to Aspen.
Aspen, formally Ute City, is one of the most famous ski resorts
in the U.S. During the summer it offers the visitor a day filled
with tours of historic buildings, fine shops, boutiques, and quaint
restaurants. The spectacular drive to Aspen will take you across
Independence Pass, the Continental Divide, and Mt.
Elbert... Colorado's highest.
Included in your stay will be
the opportunity to "prove" and "improve" your
marksmanship on our ranch target range. We provide the guns,
competent supervision and instruction, and the targets. It's great
fun and something you will want to try your hand at if you have
never had the chance.
We are located near several excellent
"secret fishin' holes", so bring your flyrod or spinning
tackle (or use ranch equipment). The river, stream, and high mountain lakes offer terrific
Rainbow Trout angling. There are two stocked ponds on the ranch
property. We can show you how to clean your trout, and we will fry
it for dinner. Delicious.
Enjoy archery, horseshoes,
volleyball, badminton, tetherball, basketball, arena soccer, softball, mountain bikes, squaredancing, cowboy poetry,
musical entertainment, checkers, chess, backgammon, frisbee, spectacular
sunsets,and more. There is also a golf course nearby...
