July 1 Blog July already?! Goodness. July 1st2019 The sun was actually out the whole week!! Thank goodness. The week before last our guests had an adventure week because they dealt with wind, rain, sun, snow, hail… We barely got the cattle in before the snow came Saturday night! Wild week. We had sponsored four veteran families and man; the stories and the camaraderie were amazing. Kyle was particularly touched by the Pitman family he wrangled for, having his brothers in the military make everything troop related a little ...
June 16 Blog SASQUATCH DOWN June 15th2019 The whole week the weather was pretty much perfect! Brief rain shower once with some thunder but other than that we’ve been looking at blue skies and fluffy white clouds with highs in the low 70s and lows in the low 50s, perfect.

My name is Amber Izdepski (The Z is scary, but I swear it’s phonetic - IS-DEP-SKI), this will be my first year here on the ranch and hopefully it won’t be my last. I come to your desktop from New Orleans, Louisiana but currently, and hopefully obviously, McCoy, Colorado and I can fully state that when the weather here in the Rockies says “100% humidity” - they most certainly are lying, as my ...
August 14 Blog July. Done the American way Colorado has brought us wonderful weather and spectacular views to match our amazing company we've hosted here at Black Mountain Ranch this July. Families from a variety of places across the world came together this past month to enjoy riding our vast trails, swimming & basking in our Colorado sunshine at Jake's Lake. Although we didn't snap a picture we had some guest appearances from our bald eagle friend and watched Mr. Bear cool off in the lake as well. The our eagle friend has stolen a ...
