Colorado Fall, Winter and Spring Vacation – Special Activities & Options
Tarryall keeps its ranch gates open all year round! Of course we will still be doing our normal Dude Ranch season every Spring, Summer and early Fall, but we also offer a Bed and Breakfast service and special options throughout the Winter and early Spring.
Day Rides: The Tarryall terrain is perfect for Day Rides. We will be offering half day horse rides and all day horse rides. We will also provide lunch if you like.
Aspen Gold Ride: Take a tour on horseback of magnificent Aspen groves sprinkling the mountainside at the time of year when they are brilliant gold! Take advantage of the breathtaking beauty of Colorado on a great horse. There is no better combination!
Breakfast Ride: Come to Tarryall for a horseback ride in some of the most beautiful mountains and alongside some of the greatest rock formations in Colorado! Couple that with a hot cowboy breakfast served along the trail in the Pike National Forest and there is no better way to spend the morning.
Quartz Quarry Ride: Ride high into the Tarryall Mountains and explore one of the largest Quartz mines around! The trial winds up into the mountains and opens into a huge quartz mine filled with beautiful and pure quartz rocks. If the quartz doesn’t captivate you the views surely will!
Box Canyon River Ride: Pack a lunch and head out to Box Canyon for the day to hang out by the river, fish, swim, or just take in the scenery. This is the best ride at Tarryall River Ranch and if you go on it you will know why! The beauty of the Box Canyon is truly enchanting!
Lizard Rock Ride: Experience a view of the Tarryall Valley that goes on for miles! Ride up to Lizard Rock, which is shaped like a gigantic lizard, and take in a view that stretches hundreds of miles. From Pike’s Peak on the south to the continental divide on the north.
Pike’s Peak Lookout Ride: Ride up to the best views of Pike’s Peak on horseback! The 14,100 ft mountain stands majestically from Pike’s Peak lookout as well as the rest of the Tarryall Valley. Spectacular 360 degree views!
Hunting: Tarryall River Ranch is right in the middle of two great hunting districts for Elk and Mule Deer! Need help on how to obtain a license, give us a call. Then book into one of our nice cozy cabins! Have a nice hot breakfast, hunt all day and come in at night for a great dinner, a hot shower and a comfortable bed. The hunting seasons run from September all the way into January!
Fishing: The fishing is good Spring, Summer and Fall up in the mountains! Make a reservation to stay at Tarryall River Ranch! There’s no better fishing than the Tarryall and Platte rivers! View more on our Colorado fly fishing program.
Lodging: for Outdoor Activities (Rafting, Skiers, and ATV’s). If you like skiing but it cost to much to stay right at the resort we are only an hour drive from great skiing areas like Breckenridge. Check out our prices and compare!
Special Parties: We are also open for Valentine’s Dinner, Thanksgiving Dinner, or an Employee Appreciation. You come up with a reason for a special dinner and we can do it for you!

Escape to Tarryall River Ranch for a delicious Valentine’s Dinner that will delight your taste buds and warm your heart! Stay for more than just dinner in cozy comfort of tastefully decorated cabins at Tarryall for a night or two and soak in the splendor of the brilliant Rocky Mountains. Enjoy a crackling fireplace and serene atmosphere to make Valentine’s Day this year extra special!
Enjoy Thanksgiving Dinner without cooking a large meal by allowing us to cook for you! We do Thanksgiving right with all the mouth-watering entrées, breads, sides, and desserts all made from scratch. You won’t find a better Thanksgiving meal the way mom used to cook it!
Corporate Retreats: We invite Corporate Groups or small businesses that need to get away for some brain storming or leisurely time. Combine the two ideas for some Team Building time to bring your members all on the same page. At Tarryall we feel we have the perfect setting for what you are looking for!
