Plan Ahead: Colorado Dude Ranches
Round up the family and head out west. Colorado beckons with clean mountain air, starry nights, and deluxe dude ranches:
4UR Ranch
World-class guided fly fishing is the draw at this Southern Colorado guest ranch. 4UR's time-honored traditions also include hayrides, horseback riding, and cookouts. Bring the whole posse; they have an energetic children's program that will keep the tikes busy all day.

So authentic, they even ring a big bell for mealtimes
Aspen Canyon features scenic mountain or river horseback rides (with free lessons) and an extensive supervised kids program, packed with activities. Adult adventures include a rodeo, skeet shooting and hiking.

Chocolate chip cookies are delivered to your cabin every night
Try everything from trail rides to mountain biking, rock climbing to cooking classes at this activity-packed dude ranch. After a day of river rafting and barn dancing with the family, drift off to sleep in a luxury log cabin.
