Whether you’re looking for a perfect family vacation, honeymoon spot, corporate retreat, or your dream getaway, Wilderness Trails Ranch is the place for your horseback riding vacation. Our guests have created unsurpassed memories at our ranch, near Durango, in Southwestern Colorado since 1970.
The “horse experience” is central at WTR. Our riding program is suited for every ability--whether you are a timid beginner or an avid rider. We match our horses to your ability, and we offer plenty of riding variety: riding instruction, half and all day trail rides, cattle work, a natural horsemanship clinic, arena work, a gymkhana, and private lessons.
Other activities at the Ranch include: hiking, fishing, water skiing, four-wheel drive trips, Mesa Verde tours, river rafting, dance lessons, hay rides, campfire sing-alongs, live music and dancing, massage therapy, and much more! You can relax by our 72-foot heated swimming pool or soak in the hot tub. We have three great programs for never-bored kids too!
Choose from two bedroom, two bath rustic cabins, or cabin suites with three bedrooms, three bathrooms, and living room with a wood- burning stove. All cabins have coffee makers, refrigerators, iron, ironing boards, decks, and daily maid service.
Bring along your appetite as meal times are always extra-special. Scrumptious breakfasts, Mexican, Italian, seafood, steak, vegetarian, buffets or cookouts, you’ll LOVE our food!
