Cattle drives are a time where you can get back to life’s essentials and make a four-legged friend or two.

"We enjoyed the sleigh ride dinner for my 31st birthday! The ride up was amazing, dinner was fantastic and I learned I can not lasso to save my life! Will definitely do again, probably paired with snow tubing or snowmobiling next time."

Our Family Enjoys Sharing Our Land
Saddleback Ranch is named for its unique setting. It sits within a secluded valley, shadowed by the magnificent Saddle Mountain, visible from all directions.
A tributary of the Yampa River meanders through the ranch, alongside the original train tracks of the Union Pacific railroad.
We Have Activities for Everyone
A vacation to the Rocky Mountains is not complete without a visit to Saddleback Ranch. Spend the entire day secluded on 8,000 acres of winter wonderland.
Snowmobile in the morning, horseback ride in the afternoon and then race down the tubing hill while you wait to be picked up by your horse-drawn sleigh for dinner. Your adventures create unforgettable memories.
Perfect in Summer or Winter

We can accommodate large ski groups as well as summer sports teams.
Unique Venue for Special Events
