Riding: Of course you can spend the entire week riding both morning and afternoon, enjoying the company of a good horse and extraordinary scenery. You’ll appreciate our wranglers and the thorough instruction provided. Beginners will be made to feel comfortable on the most gentle of horses, while intermediate and advanced riders will be matched with a horse that will perfectly complement their abilities.

Riding in the Tarryall Mountains...

Various rides leave the ranch twice daily. You'll have the choice of destination rides aimed at especially beautiful spots, or instruction rides to sharpen your riding skills, leisurely rides or more advanced rides. You can ride in groups or with your family; half day or all-day. The all-day rides take you deep into the wilderness, often climbing above timberline. An overnight pack trip is available too. There is also opportunity to work in the arena, doing team-penning or practicing for the Ranch Rodeo.

Whatever you choose, our riding program is one of the best and we know you will have a wonderful time in the saddle.

Fishing: Fishermen will be in trout heaven at the ranch. Whether a died-in-the-wool fly fisherman or a first-timer, you will find fishing to suit you. The famed Tarryall River runs right through our front yard, and there are miles to fish. Not far upstream is the Tarryall Reservoir and a variety of fishing. Also, not too far down the road is the very well known "11 Mile Canyon" where the only thing better than the fishing is the scenery! You can spend half an hour or all day. Fishing gear is available to guests.

Adventures on the Arkansas...

River Rafting: Each week we offer several choices of rafting depending on how much excitement you want. All our trips are on the Arkansas River which is home to some of the best whitewater rafting in the state. You can raft through Brown’s Canyon or through the Royal Gorge (home to the world’s highest suspension bridge) which could well be the thrill of a lifetime. We use a certified guide service and the extra cost runs between $30 and $85 per person.

On the Ranch: We have a heated outdoor pool and hot tub as well as a historic recreation hall. Our western jungle gym will thrill children and we also have a horseshoe pit for a game of Horseshoes, a makeshift volleyball court, gold panning and our popular Petting Zoo. And don’t forget the amazing hiking all around the ranch.

Evenings: First you get settled in and orientated on Sunday evening. After that, every evening will have an activity planned to round out your fun filled days. Evening plans range from cookouts and hay rides to western dancing and square dance. You can also relax on your porch, or by the fire as we listen to a western singer. And don’t forget that special night when parents enjoy a fancy dinner in the lodge while the children have a hotdog roast and hayride, and the teens have pizza by the pool. Saturday evening is always a wonderful night of singing and entertainment at the sing-along. Each evening will be a perfect end to your day at the ranch.

Meals: Long after leaving the ranch you will be talking about the food. It is a source of pride to the crew in the kitchen. No shortcuts and nothing instant. Rather we do our own baking and make most everything from scratch. You can count on plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables to go along with wonderful steaks, chicken, turkey, fish and pastas. And we have cookouts virtually every day.

Happy Birthday, Georgia...

Steak for everyone...
