ACTIVITIES for SUMMER 2006
 HORSES
We offer guests the opportunity to be involved with many different
and fun-filled activities not found on other ranches. Our excellent
horseback-riding program is tailored to your experience level, from
first time riders to experienced equestrians. You can experience
walk, walk-trot and loping (canter) rides in our arena. Along with
trail rides through beautiful mountains & open meadows twice
daily, we also offer an assortment of breakfast rides, all-day rides
(6 hours in the saddle!), and wagon rides.
For those who are interested, we keep a small herd of steers
to teach our guests the fundamentals of working cattle and team
penning. Everyone is welcome to take a riding lesson or practice
horsemanship skills in our large arena. The age limit on trail
riding is six years old and higher. We do offer short pony rides
that allow the younger children to be lead around by our wranglers
and child
counselors.
 FLY-FISHING
& SPORT SHOOTING
You can try your luck in our stocked, private lake.
We have all the equipment you need to try this great Colorado activity,
along with Rowboats and Paddleboats. Or, challenge your skill on
our Skeet, Trap, and Sporting Clay range at the top of our mountain
(Great View!) It's great fun for beginners or expert marksmen!

For those looking forward to exploring the many trails and meadows
by foot we have guided and unguided hikes take you throughout
the Arapaho National Forest.

ranches, it's the food! Our breakfasts include Omelet stations
with your choice of ingredients, fresh fruits, cereals, and breads.
Lunches feature hearty choices with a variety of homemade soups,
salads, and sandwiches. Evenings begin with tempting appetizers

CHILDREN'S PROGRAM (Fox’s Den) June
11 - August 27, 2006
Families love our standard setting children's program! We have designed
the Fox's Den program to offer kids ages 4 -12 activities tailored
to their interests. Throughout the week there are special opportunities
that all the kids enjoy such as "Kid's Only Cookout," a
Lunch Ride, Grooming and Saddling their own horses, Tie-Dye, Nature
Hikes and Ranch Treasure Hunts. It makes you wish you were a kid again!
Fox's Den activities also include going out to the arena
for pony rides, singing songs, playing games, and building stick
teepees. Kids who don’t
have the horsemanship skills to go on trail rides will get the
chance to ride in the arena with our wrangler’s assistance
and practice. The age limit on trail riding is six years old and
higher. We do offer pony rides for the younger children. The rest
of the day is occupied with arts and crafts, games, swimming,
coloring activities and many more events organized by the kids'
counselors.
We have designed this program to allow parents time alone
for a "breath of fresh air" without creating two separate
vacations for the kids and adults. Recognizing the importance of "together
time" on your family vacation, meals are a key time for kids,
parents, and grandparents to sit down together to share the day's
excursions and stories.
