Wilderness Trails Ranch Review
It's only an hour drive from Durango, but this family-owned and -operated guest ranch in the Upper Pine River Valley might as well be a lifetime away. The riding programs are the main attraction here; you will be matched with a horse that fits your experience and comfort level. Other activities include Cattle 101 (an introduction to herding), hiking, rafting, and fishing. Cozy log cabins complete with wood stoves, modern baths, and terry robes are arranged in a semicircle around the main lodge and pool; meals are distinctly gourmet (no chuckwagon fare here), served in a dining room with views of the mountains. Ranch vacations are a week long while B&B can be rented by the night.
