A Perfect Day in Red Feather Lakes, Colorado

BY: Sundance Trail Guest Ranch

What is a Colorado ranch vacation perfect day? Hmmm… “Perfect” is defined by your expectations. Are you looking for:

• A Country Inn Bed & Breakfast weekend get-away?
• A horseback riding family vacation.
• A Murder Mystery?
• An adventure vacation?
• A quiet relaxed elopement wedding?
• A family reunion with no cooking , dishes or cleaning?

A perfect day? Whether for a weekend or a full week, a perfect day looks, feels, smells, tastes and sounds like this:

• Waking up to sunshine streaming through the window;
• The crisp dry air greeting your nose, with a hint of pine;
• The sound of twigs or maybe snow crunching under your feet;
• The sweet and savory tastes of breakfast;
• The gentle rocking of your horse underneath you;
• The crack of your shotgun and the pop! of the clay pigeon;
• Hiking uphill, the gentle sweet burn in your legs and chest;
• The stillness of watching your bobber, waiting for supper to take your bait;
• The aroma of cookies baking;
• Watching the traffic passing by: your dog and our dogs, goats, horses, donkeys…
• The light but unmistakeable scent of their exhaust as they “fertilize” the pastures!
• The laughter when your horse shoe makes a “ringer.”
• The tang of hunger gained from just the right amount of physical activity;
• The warmth of supper and simple relaxed convdersation;
• The smell of pine logs in the campfire or fireplace;
• The sparkle of a billion stars, melting in the jacuzzi with you;
• The delicious flavor of feeling genuinely tired;
• Sleep to the sound of silence, broken by wind in the trees.
