Rainbow Trout Ranch, Antonito

Rainbow Trout Ranch is the perfect Colorado dude ranch for both adults and children. Exceptional horseback riding, superb Colorado fly fishing, awesome children’s programs, fun teen program, trapshooting, swimming, day trips to Taos, white water rafting and the chance to ride America’s highest and longest narrow-gauge steam train. Located at 9000ft in the spectacular Conejos River Valley in the southern Colorado Rockies we are surrounded by the Rio Grande National Forest and border the San Juan Wilderness, giving us endless riding opportunities.
We raise horses ourselves as well as being competitive ropers, therefore we take our riding program very seriously with plenty of fun thrown in. You will have a wonderful horse of your own, perfectly matched to your ability and you will soon become close friends.You will delight in the atmosphere of our magnificent lodge and your own western aspen log cabins. A timeless and historic ranch, we are within easy access of Alamosa, Albuquerque, Colorado Springs or Denver.

There is something for everyone here at the ranch and guests of every age have a great time—even those reluctant teens end up begging their parents to come back! Here at Rainbow Trout Ranch you are not a customer but a cherished guest welcomed into this magic corner of Colorado we call our own. There is no cooking, cleaning or organizing. Just simple enjoyment in the true pleasures of a top quality Colorado dude ranch. Savor our delicious home-cooked meals family style in the lodge or at a poolside barbecue or by the river’s edge.
