Experience
the Rocky Mountains at a small year round guest ranch,
nestled in a beautiful valley on a pristine mountain
lake in western Colorado. Coulter Lake is located
three miles into the White River National Forest which
is home to incredible natural beauty and abundant
wildlife. Our staff is focused on providing a unique
experience that you, your family, and friends will
always remember.
We have created memories for hundreds of guests who
have visited our corner of Colorado for summer vacations,
family reunions, weddings, business retreats, hunting
opportunities and winter getaways. Each package can
be customized to start and end on the days that fit
your schedule! We are pet friendly as well so do not
worry about bringing your dog or horses!
Experience
family vacations with quality family time!
You'll enjoy trail rides, fishing, log cabins,
hiking, mountain biking, unique outdoor wedding location,
hunting opportunities, snowmobiling, and more! Distinctive
seasonal programs for all ages are provided with passion,
creating one-of-a-kind memories for everyone.
Horseback
riding is the heart of our summer vacations
Each guest is matched to one of our excellent mountain
trail horses based on their riding abilities and goals.
We have the right horse for you whether you've ridden
your whole life or your first time up! You can ride
twice a day and as often or little as you like. Scenic
walking rides, loping on most trails, or take lessons
to improve your skills are all options available to
you.
With two trail rides each day our guests can see the
Colorado Rockies like no other way. Enjoy an all-day
lunch ride going through valleys with beaver ponds
and trout streams, a breakfast ride where you might
spot mule deer in our meadows, or an evening cookout
ride to Coulter Mesa.
Our wranglers will lead you through all the breath
taking country available in the White River National
Forest. The amazing aspen groves, views, and wildlife
will surely rejuvenate your soul..
Horses
enjoy a swim.
Summer,
Fall, & Winter Getaways in the Rocky Mountains
Each month has its charm on Colorado’s western
slope. Spring and fall seasons are beautiful with
temperatures usually in the 70s during the day and
40s at night. Spring brings fresh wildflowers and
fall finds our aspen trees turning to gold. Summer
temperatures range from the mid 70s to 80s during
the day and in the 40s to 50s at night. Winter offers
some of the best snowmobiling in the state as well
as snow shoeing, cross country skiing, and the basics
such as sledding, snow forts, snowball fights, and
more!
Enjoy exploring our website and all Coulter Lake
and Rifle, Colorado has to offer. We look forward
to sharing our corner of the mountains with you
and know you will leave with memories to last a
lifetime!
