Visit the beach and park area along the edge of the lake or stroll past quaint shops along the old-fashioned wooden sidewalks. Riders are matched with a horse to use for the rest of the week based on riding ability and experience. Rides are tailored to the interest and ability of riders and range from gentle woods and meadows to steep rocky trails. King Mountain Ranch, surrounded by Arapaho National Forest, was originally built as a private retreat. Whether on horse or afoot, miles of trails will lead you up mountain slopes and through alpine groves that overlook flower-filled meadows.
Optional activities are available at the resort such as sunrise or sunset hot air ballooning.
BLD Do as you wish today. Take full or half day horseback rides, hike one of the many trails, play tennis, try the antique bowling alley or catch some brook trout in a private lake. For something more leisurely, relax in the pool, hot tub or sauna. Tonight, a scenic walk into a mountain setting concludes with a western-style barbecue. This morning depart on an exciting and unforgettable day of white water rafting on the Colorado River.
