Hey there, horse enthusiasts! Are you getting a little tired of just going around and around in circles? No matter how nice the indoor or outdoor arena is where you normally ride, it just can't compare to mounting up in big sky country and enjoying the unforgettable adventure of a Colorado Dude Ranch vacation. If you need help knowing just What is a Dude Ranch is, we have you covered. Even if you're an avid trail rider back home, Black Mountain Ranch has more to offer than you can even imagine. Picture 1,000 privately-owned acres smack-dab in the heart of the amazing Colorado Rockies, bordered by the protected lands of the BLM and Forest Service. See yourself astride a pretty pinto, sumptuous sorrel, or dazzling dun. Maybe you're soaking up the sunshine on a leisurely ride through aromatic sagebrush. Or crossing a crystal-clear mountain stream. Or maybe you dream of thundering along a ridge overlooking snow-capped peaks and aspen forests as far as the eye can see. No matter how you envision it, at BMR, your dreams can become reality. That's because our owners, staff, wranglers and horses will all come together to help you create exactly the vacation you desire. If you want days jam-packed with unlimited horseback riding – it's yours! Want to throw in some adrenaline-pumping white water rafting? No problem! Swimming, canoeing, lazy day relaxing? It's totally up to you. The activities and opportunities abound and everything other than your tab at our wild west saloon is included. There's even a weekly rodeo for some longhorn driving and calf roping, should you care to release your inner cowhand. So leave the arena behind and get into some comfy cowboy boots, well-worn jeans, and fun, fringy chinks for an authentic western experience you'll never forget.
