Our family has enjoyed five ranch vacations over the years. In July 2012 we selected Rainbow Trout Ranch. It was by far the best ranch we have visited. Great owners, staff and wranglers. Very good food, comfortable cabins, spectacular scenery, great horses and riding opportunities and very good fishing. A ranch I would return to again, with or without my... More

Our lives are busy like most families so when we take our vacation, we want to relax and enjoy! Unfortunately, these two words have a different meaning for young adults, just ask our 16 year old son. What's worse, returning from vacation only to realize that you didn't get your monies worth or having to hear your son complain about... More

My family of 4 has vacationed at Rainbow Trout Ranch six summers now, July 2012 being our latest visit. Over the years, we have experienced so many reasons to love this vacation. Let me identify a few: 1. We have fallen in love with the scenery and arid climate. Cool, clear, crisp nights with beautiful sunny days. The altitude of... More

I'm not country and I don't much care for horses or at least not anymore than one who has a passing curiosity for animals does so understand this is not a review from someone returning "home" or a guy that played with My Little Pony as a boy. In short, and I know short well, simply the best vacation to... More

We had an unprecedented quality experience. The facility is an enormous log lodge reminiscent of the great lodges of the national parks. Fires burned in the fire place for breakfast and dinner. At breakfast, fresh yeast bread rose covered near the warmth of the fire. The fall leaves turned while we were there. Every detail was covered. The staff can... More

What a wonderful time our family had at RTR. Truly warm and personal attention from the owners, who helped us with our plans for a family celebration, childcare and other individual requests. Excellent, basic, but well-cooked food--abundant portions served to each table with endless seconds: steaks, ribs, pork tenderloin, lasagna, bowls of fresh fruit and salads, home baked breads, rolls,...

We LOVE going the second weekend in September. The aspen groves are the 8th wonder of the world. Gives you the chills as you ride through the golden trees! Of course, no children's program then, but great if going as a couple or with friends. A little cooler then too, so the fireplace in the cabin gets used each night... More

I chose Rainbow Trout Ranch because of the reviews I read, many written by teenagers, who love to come back to RTR year after year! That was what impressed me the most. My daughter, a teen, made friends quickly with others in the teen program and I rarely saw her except at meals. There were young children who had their... More

I have always been too lazy to write a review although I have studied Trip Advisor for years prior to our trips. I feel I would be doing a disservice to RTR if I didn't give them a glowing review. Maybe I have never felt like I have stayed in a place that was worth the effort to write about.... More
