The Laramie River Dude Ranch is located in north central
Colorado just six miles from the Wyoming border. Click
here for downloadable directions and a map. The high mountain passes close in winter
leaving valley residents isolated from the rest of Colorado. This makes Laramie, Wyoming,
42 miles away, our "local" community. We even have a Wyoming postal address.
The Laramie River flows north from Colorado's Rawah
Mountains into Wyoming. Two miles of the river flow through the ranch providing great
fishing and horseback riding opportunities. |

The roads turn to gravel as you cross the Wyoming
border into Colorado. Our ranch is secluded, offering guests a glimpse of Colorado as it
has looked for a hundred years.

The valley is productive agriculturally. We grow hay
and graze yearlings during the summer. Our neighbors raise cattle, buffalo (American
Bison, actually), and hay.
The yearlings in this photo are on the
way from one pasture to another through the middle of the ranch compound. |

"The best vacation our family has ever had. No one
wanted to leave. Beautiful scenery, great riding, and fantastic food. But most
of all, we feel that we have left behind many new friends." |
You're invited to share our valley
with us and with the other families you will meet. We'll do our best to see that this is
the best vacation you will ever have.
