Vista Verde Ranch: Family Dude Ranch (101)Join us in Colorado as we visit the Vista Verde Ranch, a family-friendly dude ranch with a difference. The ranch offers many activities: taking part in an authentic cattle drive, fly fishing, hiking or mountain biking.
Take a trip with two friends from Los Angeles as they live out their childhood dreams of becoming cowboys. Follow the city slickers as they work and play in the great outdoors. Then at day's end, join them as they dine on fine cuisine before retiring to cozy accommodations.
