We have gone year after year and have made so many friends there who join us. Last summer everyone who began going to the ranch years ago returned---with their grown children! A little girl whose...

Our first time visiting Rainbow Trout Ranch was this year. I'm sure it won't be our last. What a great, relaxing and beautiful environment. Everything that Rick B. said on his write-up was absolutely true. Want to get away from traffic, noise, cell phones, crowds and just relax? Well, just get to RTR. You won't be disappointed.

This ranch is one of 7 Guest (Dude) ranches we have visited over the last 16 years (2nd time here). It is by far the best. 8800 feet in the Rockies with breath taking views in all directions. The owners and staff provide 5 star service.

I can't say enough about this place. The owners which included Doug, Linda, Jane and Dave go absolutely out of their way to make sure your holiday is the best it can be. The staff of college age kids were awesome. If you want to go to a dude ranch, you are crazy if you do not go to this... More
