With Great pride North Fork has been welcoming families that quickly become friends into this small family oriented ranch & fishing lodge for 25 years! Only an hour from the Denver airport (a little longer by horseback) sitting at 8,100 ft you will find a little of Colorado all in one spot! Grab your hat, pull on your boots and meet your horse to explore our private 520 acres filled with rolling meadows & shimmering aspen's that adjoin the Pike National Forest.  Riding is offered each day and accommodates all abilities. Our exciting inclusive program offers much more; thrilling whitewater rafting, guided hikes into spectacular surrounding high country, trap & target shooting, bow & arrow, petting zoo, even a sleep out in the teepee! Right off the back porch rests a mile of the North Fork of the South Platte River.  Cast your luck at our world famous fly fishing (Orvis Endorsed Lodge)!  Professional Orvis guides along with trophy trout makes your day an experience you will not soon forget! Rejuvenate in our riverside heated pool, hot tubs or pamper yourself with a therapeutic massage!  No detail is overlooked with our diverse program. The ranch takes Great pride in feeding you well.  You will find yourself surrounded by the aroma of bread baking, warm cookies each afternoon and hearty family dining with a gourmet flare.  Special diets are easily accommodated by attentive staff.
The fun doesn't stop when the sun goes down.  Sitting around a campfire, watch a sunset while enjoying cowboy ballads, an authentic Mountain Man story teller or square dance and hayride that slowly takes you back in time.  Don't forget to sit back & relax on your front porch counting stars or enjoy a glass of wine in front of a crackling fire in your cozy cabin. Enjoy the cool breeze as you rest and take in the cowboy western way of life. Hospitality is our passion.  Join us where time is measured by the arc of the sun and the shadows of the mountains!

Itinerary

Ranch Dining

We'll start each day with a savory breakfast to give you the fuel you'll need to participate in the morning's activities (eggs benedict, breakfast burrito). Lunches are hearty and healthy (homemade soups, hot chicken & biscuits). We go all out for dinner with dishes like a grilled pork tenderloin with a raspberry chipotle sauce or a Thanksgiving style feast including turkey and all the trimmings. We top this all off with homemade desserts guaranteed to give you "sweet dreams".

Ranch Activities

Our all-inclusive vacation package includes a full host of activities for everyone in the family, including horseback riding, shooting, hiking, fishing, rafting, and activities for the little ones. Enjoy the beautiful Colorado scenery from our heated outdoor pool, or revive your sore muscles with a professional massage or a soak in the hot tub. Sight seeing and shopping trips to Breckenridge and the Alpine slide, target & trap shooting, bow and arrow, hayrides, square dancing and more!
