WE ARE A WORKING DUDE RANCH!

 

 

The Historic Pines Ranch in beautiful Westcliffe, Colorado has been hosting guest ranch vacations and riding holidays for over 100 years. We have earned the loyalty of guests from around the world that return to the Pines Ranch every year to vacation with us.

Our Ranch brand H/H stands for “Home away from Home”, and that is exactly what our mission is: to make you feel like you have a home away from your home where the air is clean, the Western hospitality is gracious, and the outdoor activities, food, and amenities are exactly what you were looking for.

 

Guests at the Pines Ranch enjoy clean air, gorgeous mountain scenery, an outstanding western riding program, historic hiking trails, special fly fishing opportunities, and home cooked meals, right along side luxuries like an indoor swimming pool, a hot tub, and sauna.

 

If you are looking for a Colorado Dude Ranch Vacation that will allow you to escape the frustrations of the world and enjoy the comfort and hospitality of mountain lodge living at 8,700 feet above sea level, the old west Historic Pines Ranch is a perfect vacation destination for you.

The Historic Pines Ranch Overhang Gate Welcomes All Of Our Guests!

 

The Pines Ranch is nestled at the base of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. This mountain range is the tallest, longest, contiguous mountain range on planet Earth! The sun shines 335 days a year over its snow capped peaks, and there is plenty of room to ride, relax and explore.

Our Colorado Dude Ranch Offers Horseback Riding, Riding Holidays and Mountain Accommodations

 

Mountain lodging and accommodations at the Pines Ranch are comfortable, private modern-rustic cabins connected by paths around the property. Each cabin has a private bath. Hearty and nutritious meals are served at the Knotty Pine Dining Hall three times a day. Click onto the Accommodations page for photos.

You will learn how to ride or have the opportunity to improve your riding skills all week with advanced lessons offered at no charge. Our horse training and riding program is one of the best in the state of Colorado. You will have the chance to trail ride, participate in rodeo sports and end of the week guest rodeo, learn to team pen cattle and much more!
