Imagine spectacular all-day rides in the rugged Colorado backcountry, where Wild West pioneers and the legends of lore saddled up to their destinies. Ride in the backdrop of cascading waterfalls, multi-colored cliffs and pristine rivers and lakes, as you’re transported back to an idyllic era in time.

At RTR we’re big on tradition, big on families and big on fun. Can you say Yeeha?
