SUMMER CAMP FOR ADULTS.
Fall Stays for Adults Only
Some guests call it summer camp for adults — but with fine wines, plush robes, private hot tubs, and evening turndown service. And honestly? We couldn’t agree more.
From mid-August through fall, Vista Verde Ranch transforms into a kid-free retreat, where the focus is all about adventure, relaxation, and great company. Expect lively conversations, unforgettable outdoor experiences, and the kind of freedom that makes you feel like a kid again, only with better drinks and a way comfier bed.
Saddle up, let loose, and get ready to whoop and holler through the Colorado mountains because growing up doesn’t mean the fun has to stop.
Join us for an unforgettable adults-only escape!
Visit Colorado in Autumn
All-Inclusive Fall Foliage
These fall weeks are very popular due to the fall foliage season that compliments our hallmark activities such as trail riding, horsemanship clinics, fly fishing, hiking, mountain biking, and more. It’s a great time to get out and explore the mountains with the aspen leaves changing and the cooler weather.
This is also a great time for fall weddings and honeymoons for people looking for a unique and intimate luxury getaway with a little more adventure than just laying around on a beach!
Cattle Round-Up Week
Exclusive Event in September
We have a partnership with a local rancher to help them manage their cow-calf operation. After being out on over 16,000 acres of grazing land, fall is the time to bring the cows home. For adventurous riders looking for a unique horseback riding vacation, this is a great time to explore amazing country, scale steep hillsides, climb over down trees, and help us round-up the cows before winter sets in.
Fall 4-Night Stays
The October stays pull in a mix of outdoor freedom and cozy indoor opportunities. As we transition from fall to winter, the Ranch experience is as good as it gets with a range of weather potential. It might be sunny and 70 degrees, or we can get snow, rain, and sometimes all of those in the same week!
It’s a great time to cozy up by the fire, soak in your private hot tub, or adventure out on horseback, on a bike or on foot to take in the autumn mountain vistas.
We eat more of our meals inside the Lodge, rather than outside or on the trail, due to shorter daylight hours and cooler temperatures. The massive fireplace in the Great Room is typically going all day and into the evening for those wanting to relax, cuddle up and stay inside.
Guided activities run daily, rain or shine, and it’s not unheard of to hike up to a high alpine lake and find evidence of the first snow!
