Black Mountain Ranch is located high in the Rockies halfway between Vail and Steamboat Springs, Colorado. We offer weeklong, all-inclusive vacations for those who want adventurous (but safe), authentic, western-style experiences at one of the best dude ranches in Colorado. We are family-owned and operated, designing custom trips for families, adults, honeymoons, and family reunions. If you’re looking for a trip West for your next vacation, you have found it at Black Mountain Ranch!
How does a week spent horseback riding, skeet shooting at our range, whitewater rafting, cattle drive, overnight pack trip, visiting the local rodeo, and gourmet dining in high Colorado backcountry sound? Additionally, we own all of our own horses and know them all well. But don’t let us be the only ones to tell you! You can read over 200 reviews about our professionalism, level of service, and of course, our excellent and happy horses.
Let us help plan your next vacation! Give us a call today at 1-970-653-4226!
