Trail Rides

One, two, or three hours on horseback across a working Colorado ranch. Private to your group, every time.

Every ride at Salt Creek Ranch is private. You ride with your own people and a guide, and that's it.We don't put strangers together on the trail.

The route takes you through open meadows, up into mountain views, and past the working parts of the ranch: cattle, hay ground, and country that looks the way western Colorado is supposed to look. Your guide matches you with a horse that fits how you ride, whether you've been in a saddle for thirty years or thirty seconds.
