What to expect at Lost Trail Ranch.

At Lost Trail Ranch, we provide the opportunity for our Guests to enjoy all the comforts of home in our comfortable Guest Cabins.

  Each of our four main rental cabins is fully furnished, with a well supplied kitchen, bathroom and comfortable bedrooms, and lovely living/dining room.  The cabins allow both great privacy and incomparable views of the surrounding nature and wildlife. Modern facilities and country decor in each of the hand crafted log cabins make for a pleasurable environment for your mountain retreat.

Electricity is provided within each cabin from our own solar panels, and running water from our underground spring is in each kitchen and bathroom.  Wood stoves in each cabin provide cozy warmth for chilly evenings.  Remember that you’re far from the stress and smog of the cities here – and far away from telephone and television connection!  (However, limited wireless internet connection is available)

Check in time (for our summer guests) is between 3:00 p.m. and dark.  If you think you'll be running late, please e-mail us, and we'll leave a light on for you, but please, no early birds.  Check out time is 10:00 a.m.

During the summer and autumn months, horseback riding is available from right here at the Ranch, offering guided trail rides into the Rio Grande National Forest and Weminuche Wilderness.  Fishing remains to be one of the main draws here at Lost Trail Ranch and to this part of the headwaters of the Rio Grande.  There is excellent access to great fishing both on and near our Ranch.

During the winter months, winter sports are available right at your front door!  Guests snowmobile, cross country ski or snowshoe in to the ranch from our parking at the Rio Grande Reservoir Dam.  From here, Guests may cross country ski, snow shoe or snowmobile on our unlimited miles of trails, both groomed and untouched. 

Due to the high elevation at Lost Trail Ranch, please be aware of altitude sickness, and dehydration.  It is very important for our Guests to drink more water than they usually do, and be prepared to need a little more sleep and food up here!  In addition, you may find yourself a bit winded at first, as it takes a few days to adjust to living at nearly  10,000 feet.

   

We hope you enjoy your stay with us at Lost Trail Ranch.
