Legendary Wild West Riding

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.

Fantastic Trophy Fly-fishing

It goes without saying why we’re called Rainbow Trout Ranch. With over a mile and a half of exceptional private angling on the Conejos River – a tributary of the legendary Rio Grande flowing directly through our property, you’ll quickly see why we’re guest rated as one of the top five fly-fishing ranches in the country.

All About Family Adventure

An RTR vacation is the perfect exclusive family getaway. Teens and kids of all ages rave about the whole new world of fun and adventure they get to experience while connecting with family and friends just like in the good ol’ days. At RTR we’re big on tradition, big on families and big on fun. Can you say Yeeha?

Down-Home Tradition & Hospitality

The spirit of old fashioned western hospitality lives large at Rainbow Trout Ranch. Meals are served generously and prepared family style. Conversation flows cheeringly, while evenings are filled with sing-alongs, dancing, live music, or simply a quiet night of stargazing or late night fireside chat – whatever suits your fancy!

Exclusive Historic Setting

Combining the splendor of the Rocky Mountains and the enchantment of the New Mexico Southwest, it’s no wonder Wild West legends the likes of none other than Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and gang whiled away the hours in the magnificent backcountry paradise we get to call home.
