Black Mountain Ranch is located high in the Rockies halfway between Vail and Steamboat Springs in Colorado. This is an all-inclusive ranch, and guests arrive on Sunday afternoons when their weeklong package begins. This package includes lodging, all meals, unlimited horseback riding, an overnight pack trip, a longhorn cattle drive, whitewater rafting, fly and spin fishing, rifle and trap shooting, and mid-June through mid-August, a trip to the local rodeo. There are no hidden or extra fees for any of the ranch activities.
What makes this ranch a little unique is that they own all of their own horses and take pride in finding the right horse for each rider. Aside from riding, you will find the ranch’s expertise in many outdoor activities offered during the week stay. For trail riding, it is six years of age and older.
Black Mountain Ranch offers three types of lodging and three price tiers depending on accommodations. There is a standard suite and private cabins and premium private cabins to choose from. When it comes to meals, there is an onsite chef who creates gourmet meals daily and there are plated and buffet dinners. They can accommodate any food allergies or dietary restrictions.
