Faith, Hope, & Charity
The lodge is just tucked underneath three of the most spectacular rock faces to hike to any day of the week in your stay with us.
Dude Ranch Family – Braden
The dude ranching world is an amazing opportunity to make life long connections with people from all over, staff and guests alike. This past week, we got to visit with one of ours, Braden, who was a wrangler for us for two years! We got to hear about her exciting new world in Pigeon Forge, TN.
Wintering Horses
We had a chance to visit with each horse individually a few days ago when we dewormed this winter. So nice to see them all while they are on vacation! You can learn more about what their winter looks like here.

Staff Map 2018
We have been lucky to have a great dude ranch staff from all over come work with us in our magic part of southern Colorado. This year, we thought we would map it out!
“Linda Clean”
We always have a good time wherever we are at Rainbow Trout Ranch, even when we are cleaning! A few of our housekeeping and waitstaff members made a great timelapse video in one of our cabins in the twin room, and we’ve put it here to share with you.
Pink Friday Tradition
A few years ago, we adopted the tradition of wearing pink on Fridays, and support the “Tough Enough to Wear Pink” program sponsored by Wrangler. It’s become something that we encourage everyone on the ranch to participate in!
Staff Spotlight: Hannah
This summer, we are making an effort to introduce our blog readers to some of our great staff members that we have this year! This week is Hannah, from Ohio. We hope you have the pleasure of meeting her out here on the ranch!
Unplugging at the Ranch
In today’s world, we are always checking our emails, responding to texts, or seeing what’s new in the world on our phones. At our dude ranch, it offers the perfect opportunity to take a break, relax, and just enjoy the moment. Read more to see why!
The Dog Days of Ranching
You’ll never meet two ranch dogs more welcoming to new faces and old friends than HubCap and LugNut. We have had some great ranch dogs through the years at Rainbow Trout Ranch, but these two definitely have left an impression in our hearts.
