In an infamous canyon known as Conejos River, Rainbow Trout Ranch is found at 9,000 feet in the Rocky Mountains of southern Colorado. The ranch has made a name for itself in fly-fishing and superb riding. It catches the attention of all the ages, again and again.

Horseback riding ranges from taking a walk at the riverbank meadows to climbing high peaked mountains. The ranch allows loping through vast fields. No nose-to-tail riding at this spectacular ranch. The ranch offers plenty of horses in it corral which you can match your level of experience and needs. For summer ranch rodeo, Rainbow Trout Ranch offers activities like team-penning and pole/barrels practice.

Serious fishermen adore the Conejos River. The ranch sits along one and a half miles of prime river fishing for the exclusive use of ranch guests. The staff is happy to dress and prepare your catch, but catch and release fly-fishing is encouraged. We have a large selection of flies and tackle as Rainbow Trout provides necessary instruments and tools.

Apart from world-class riding and fishing, the ranch itself provides light-hearted pleasure. The focal point of the ranch is historic and eccentric lodge of 18,000 square feet. There are two optional programs for children ranging from 3 to 5 years and 6 to 11 years. Another loosely structured program is available for teens giving them ample freedom. There are so many things other than hiking, archery, hayrides, and cookouts. To truly experience the magic of Rainbow Trout Ranch, you have to visit, as it cannot be put into words. To get an idea from a guest’s perspective, you can go through the advisor reviews on Trip Advisor.
