ACTIVITIES

Hiking: Hiking enthusiasts can step out of a cabin and take off in all directions. Rifle Mountain Park offers a beautiful canyon trail along Rifle Creek where you may catch a glimpse of rock climbers, or you may want to take the Riparian Zone trail down to Rifle Falls.

Fishing: For those who think nothing can quite replace the sport of fishing, we keep our spring-fed lake, in front of the Lodge, well stocked with rainbow and cutthroat trout. There's also a swimming/fishing raft in the middle of the lake. Good stream fishing for rainbow and brook trout can be found in nearby Rifle Creek. Bring your own gear or use ours (no guarantee on condition  however!).

Activities: There are many other ways to enjoy the daytime hours, such as a brisk swim in Coulter Lake or a game of horseshoes or volleyball. The scenery and wildlife here are a photographers delight. Off ranch there's an outstanding, scenic 18-hole Golf course nearby, or you might enjoy whitewater rafting through beautiful Glenwood Canyon on the Colorado River. Some guests enjoy a swim, "soak' or massage at the world-famous Hot Springs Pool and Spa in Glenwood Springs while others raft Or, you can sit back, relax, read a good book - or just do nothing. While we try to offer plenty of activities, there is absolutely no strict schedule. You can do just as much or as little as you wish.

Come nighttime, you'll enjoy gathering in the Lodge to play cards or various games, join a sing a long, watch a movie, perhaps sit around a campfire, or just talk over the days happenings and visit with others. We usually have western dancing each week and find that both beginners and more experienced guests join in with enthusiasms! Karaoke night is a favorite of most.

Note: If you're looking for quieter times, consider off-season when our activities may be curtailed and we have fewer guests.
