Anyone who has visited the mountains, or lives in them, can testify that mountain weather can be unpredictable.
Even with that, reading headlines across the nation like “Record Rain Soaks Big Apple” and “Texas Towns Tap Toilets to Beat Drought,” it makes me realize that even with its unpredictability, I’ll take mountain weather and all its hot and colds through every season over city weather. Besides, when mountain weather is good…it is so good.
Sometimes, mountain weather is more than good, even to the point of enchantment. And even for those of us who live here year round, it enchants and delights us and makes us grateful to live in the valley. A few weeks ago, a couple rain showers passed through Vista Verde Dude Guest Ranch which left a beautiful vibrant rainbow that covered the ranch. Moments later, the romantic moment got better when another rainbow appeared in the sky to form a double rainbow. Although the horse trail rides, arena work, hiking, biking and fly-fishing are all part of the main attractions here, little moments like this are what make this dude ranch vacation more than just a dude ranch vacation.

And if you’re looking to keep tabs on the weather around the area, we prefer the website NOAA. It helps us keep up with the unpredictability a little bit better.
