The High Lonesome RanchExactly as wild as you want.
A modern wilderness.
With a healthy respect for the past
and an eye towards the future.
If it’s possible to improve on what
nature intended, this would be the
place. Our ranch is where brave and
hardy pioneers settled over a hundred
years ago. Today at The High
Lonesome Ranch, we diligently
continue their ranching heritage,
by reinvesting a large portion of our
revenues and using the latest
conservation practices to enhance
the land and waters.
While you’re here, you own the place.
The High Lonesome Ranch is where you can escape the trappings of everyday life and find out who you really are.
While you’re here you will find 300 secluded square miles where you can reconnect with your family, your friends,
your colleagues and, most importantly, yourself. On horseback, on bike, or on foot. Fish, hunt, ride and climb.
By day, you’ll be tested and thrilled. By night, you’ll be pleasantly wined and dined. You won’t just look at the stars,
you’ll be treated like one. The High Lonesome Ranch.
The Dude Ranch ExperienceOur week-long Dude Ranch experiences
cater to all levels of equestrians.
Programs begin on Sundays and
conclude on Saturdays, often with
families' being fully bonded to one
another, their wranglers and especially to
their horses. We offer riding lessons,
cattle drives, round ups, roping, team
penning, reining, a western obstacle
course, branding, equestrian
geocaching, and even an introduction to
barrel racing. If you've never mounted a
horse, this is the perfect place to learn to
ride. Our patient instructors can turn you
into a cowpoke in a short time.
We've got more trails for you to ride
than you could cover in a lifetime.
Whether you ford streams or ride
through the cottonwoods you will
become part of the High Lonesome
legacy. We offer miles of trails that
range from an hour to a day and you
won't even need to cross a public road.
Whether it is your first ride or your 50th
year in the saddle we guarantee that
you’ll have a great time. Before you leave
The High Lonesome Ranch, we will do
our best to make you say, “I wanna be a
cowboy.”
E xactly as wild as you want. No more. No less.
Our flushing game birds are sure to keep you on your toes.
Five species of birds. Hungarian
partridge, pheasant, scaled quail,
Gambel’s quail, and chukars love the
cover of rye and wheat fields, the
sagebrush flats, the creek bottoms,
and mountain slopes. We plant and work
the land every year to keep it that way.
Two full time dog trainers work our 46
English pointers and pointing and
flushing labs. Kennels to accommodate
your dogs. Whatever your skill level,
you’re in for a great time – every shoot
is custom tailored. We provide friendly,
expert guides who will chaperone you
through our coverts. The Lonesome
Outfitter will serve up things you forgot,
and offer you shotgun rentals to simplify
your travel to the ranch. The High
Lonesome Ranch offers the finest wing
shooting opportunities in this part of the
world. And you can’t beat the Colorado
Rockies for some breathtaking scenery.
We don’t like to brag, but if you don’t
wear yourself out on the trout around
here, you’re not trying. Join our Grand
Slam Club by catching a brook, brown,
rainbow, and cutthroat trout in one day.
It doesn’t happen every day, but it
happens often enough. Or join our
25-inch club. Our trout grow big, with
the ranch record at over 12 pounds. No
doubt, the water helps make this place
special. Our exclusive spring creek
meanders down our valley for miles
through a series of ponds and small
lakes for you to discover – and so
peacefully isolated, you may never see
another soul all day. Or head to our
K-T Ranch in Meeker and fish seven
miles of the White River and three
spring creeks. Hatches come off all year
long. Add in a float trip on the nearby
Roaring Fork and Colorado Rivers, and
you'll have your own Western sampler.
There’s something for everyone, from
beginner to expert. Our Lonesome
Outfitter is fully stocked with the best
gear, and it’s a great place to gather for
fly-fishing tips, to arrange professional
casting instructions, and to hear some
stories. And remember, nothing grows
faster than a fish from when it bites until
it gets away.
Fly-fishing fanatics are in for the trip of a lifetime.
Guided wildlife safari, Colorado style.
The High Lonesome Ranch, with its
majestic mountains and sweeping green
valleys, is a natural habitat for
tremendous specimens of mule deer, elk,
bears, and mountain lions. Better said,
big game hunters are in for the thrill of a
lifetime. Your hope of harvesting the
ultimate trophy is a personal quest we
take to heart. Every hunt is carefully
planned to fulfill your big game dream,
and always includes the support of our
seasoned guides to make the most of
the experience for you. Here’s an
exclusive opportunity to stalk mature
trophy elk and mule deer of such
outstanding antler proportions, you’ll be
awestruck as you accept the challenge
by bow, muzzleloader, or modern rifle.
We offer several choices of nicely
appointed hunting camps throughout the
ranch. Let us help with permits,
licensing, and planning for the best hunt

Science, Conservation, and EducationThe Ranch has taken on a number of
conservation and restoration projects,
which stem from partnerships that bring
together the public, private and scientific
sectors. At the forefront lies cutting-edge
science. Teams of scientists have
completed a baseline assessment of
plant and animal life and are evaluating
the health of the ranch's wide variety of
animals and habitats. This ongoing
research represents a long-term
investment in stewardship of this
quintessential Western landscape,
and is expected to take a decade to
complete. Guests have the exciting
opportunity to learn about, participate in,
and become engaged in our efforts.
