A Perfect Day in Red Feather Lakes, Colorado

BY: Sundance Trail Guest Ranch 

What is a Colorado ranch vacation perfect day? Hmmm... “Perfect” is defined by your expectations. Are you looking for:

·      A Country Inn Bed & Breakfast weekend get-away?

·      A horseback riding family vacation.

·      A Murder Mystery?

·      An adventure vacation?

·      A quiet relaxed elopement wedding?

·      A family reunion with no cooking , dishes or cleaning?

A perfect day? Whether for a weekend or a full week, a perfect day looks, feels, smells, tastes and sounds like this:

·      Waking up to sunshine streaming through the window;

·      The crisp dry air greeting your nose, with a hint of pine;

·      The sound of twigs or maybe snow crunching under your feet;

·      The sweet and savory tastes of breakfast;

·      The gentle rocking of your horse underneath you;

·      The crack of your shotgun and the pop! of the clay pigeon;

·      Hiking uphill, the gentle sweet burn in your legs and chest;

·      The stillness of watching your bobber, waiting for supper to take your bait;

·      The aroma of cookies baking;

·      Watching the traffic passing by: your dog and our dogs, goats, horses, donkeys...

·      The light but unmistakeable scent of their exhaust as they “fertilize” the pastures!

·      The laughter when your horse shoe makes a “ringer.”

·      The tang of hunger gained from just the right amount of physical activity;

·      The warmth of supper and simple relaxed convdersation;

·      The smell of pine logs in the campfire or fireplace;

·      The sparkle of a billion stars, melting in the jacuzzi with you;

·      The delicious flavor of feeling genuinely tired;

·      Sleep to the sound of silence, broken by wind in the trees.
