Christian Dude Ranches in Colorado

Colorado is the capital of Dude Ranches.

Colorado is home to breathe-taking views of mountain ridges and deep flourishing valleys. Hot spring pools, picturesque hiking trails and sparkling creeks all invite travelers to a relaxing, but exciting vacation. Christian Dude Ranches spot the valleys and ridges throughout Colorado to provide a safe and spiritual retreat for families and singles. No matter what walk of life vacationers are escaping from, all are welcomed to a faith-filled, rewarding experience.

Christian Values

Christian Dude Ranches pride themselves in being surrounded by God's country and invite travelers to an inspirational vacation. Several have a "No Alcohol" policy to ensure a positive and safe Christian atmosphere. Adult and youth groups, families and singles are encouraged to attend presentations and bible studies by Christian speakers and leaders. From ministries, singing hymns and church, numerous Colorado Dude Ranches provide a place of worship and fellowship to all whom visit.

Family Times (or Not)

Several Christian Dude Ranches in Colorado provide escapes for big or small families, singles or couples, and young or old vacationers. Although many activities are presented for family time, most will offer a babysitter to a night of romance for the parents. Furthermore, several offer youth programs separate from adult activities for each to enjoy age-appropriate entertainment. Although many state they are a family Dude Ranch, couples, groups and singles can enjoy the same activities presented by the ranch.

Accommodations

Depending on the ranch, cabins, cottages, or lodges are available to guests. Furthermore, many will have the option in selecting the size and number of bedrooms needed for a comfortable stay. Similar to other resorts, food and entertainment is included in the price. Dude Ranches have cook-outs, barbecues, buffets, and weekly dinner menus to accommodate differentiating palates. Lastly, ranches have a main lodge for information, faxes, computer and printer usage or to get away from cramped quarters.

Experience

Any true Colorado experience is not complete unless it has a view of the magnificent Rocky Mountains. Within the valleys and hills, horse roping, square dancing and cow work satisfy any cowboy or cowgirl at heart. Although Christian Dude Ranches invite a western experience, many in Colorado provide several other activities to satisfy a wide range of interests. Fishing, four-wheeling, hiking and dancing is only a handful of pastimes offered at Dude Ranches for old and young alike.
