Family Dude Ranch Vacations at 4UR

May 6th, 2009 by 4ur admin

In one month, we at 4UR Ranch will open our gates and invite you into our world, where we hope you will have an unforgettable family ranch vacation. Imagine you and your family taking a horseback riding vacation this summer, where you will learn to ride while surrounded by the incredible landscape of Colorado.

Watch your children grow while at our Family Dud Ranch

Ride at our Family Dude Ranch

Our wranglers here at 4UR Ranch have a vast store of knowledge and experience. Damon Gibbons and his men will educate you in the art of Natural Horsemanship both in the arena and out on the trail. You will learn something about the instincts and herd mentality of horses, and how to communicate with them in light of this. Damon and the other wranglers are gentle but firm, always fair, and provide a safe environment for all riders.

Nothing feels better after a full day of riding on trails through the mountains than diving into a pool and soaking in a hot spring, which is why you will find both at our Colorado family guest ranch. You will be refreshed enough to enjoy dinner prepared by Chef Wray Warner, who has honed his skills in the finest resorts from Lake Placid Lodge to the Four Seasons in Jackson, Wyoming. Enjoy a night-cap while watching the sunset to make your day complete.

There is something for every member of your family here at 4UR. Our Kid’s Program will give you parents a little time for yourselves while your children are fully engaged in riding or fishing or games. So come to the mountains of South Central Colorado for the Dude Ranch Vacation of your life.

Family Dude Ranch heads to the Theater

Once you arrive at our family Dude ranch, it may be hard to tear yourself away. We are located in such a peaceful and breathtakingly beautiful setting that, come evening, you may just want to sit and take it all in.

However, should you find the motivation to take a little drive during your stay, check out what is playing at The Creede Repertory Theater. In 2007, our little local theater was awarded the “Outstanding Theater Award” by the National Theater Conference; this is quite an honor, and puts The Creede Repertory Theater in the prestigious company of previous winners: The Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis and the Steppenwolf Theater in Chicago. We always enjoy the shows, and feel certain that you will, too. Why not add a little culture to your family ranch vacation?

We open our Colorado guest ranch on June 6, 2009, when A Wonderful Noise will be playing at The Creede Repertory Theater. Based on the book by Michael Hollinger, and adapted for the stage by Michael Hollinger and Vance Lehmkuhl, this “delightful musical comedy blends toe-tapping tunes, high-energy farce, and unexpected romance to make a very wonderful noise!” The story is as follows: “It’s 1941, and the Society for the Preservation and Encouragement of Barber Shop Quartet Singing in America (S.P.E.B.S.Q.S.A) is holding a competition to find the best Barbershop Quartet in America. The only catch: No Girls Allowed. But with the help of fake moustaches, bad suits, and great voices, a fearless foursome of females turns the singing contest into a hilarious battle of the sexes” (quotes from the theater’s website).

Early visitors to our Colorado Dude ranch are guaranteed to have their spirits lifted by this musical romp into the 40s. So plan to sit in a hot spring after a day in the saddle, enjoy a stellar dinner, then head into Creede and check out The Creede Repertory Theater for an unforgettable evening.

Family Dude Ranch Hosts Women

Women Fish

Women Fish

We here at 4UR Ranch know that women love the outdoors as much as men, and that there are some fine fisherwomen out there. That’s one reason this is the twelfth year we are hosting the annual Women’s Only “Wine and Waders” retreat. Our historic guest ranch in Creede, Colorado is the perfect spot for a week that encompasses fly fishing, outdoor adventures and luxurious spa treatments. From June 14 – 20, women will have the ranch to themselves, complete with women-only certified fly fishing instructors. Everyone from novices to expert anglers are invited to participate in workshops and enjoy miles of pure water in the southern Rockies; tailor your vacation to your own skill level and needs. There will also be time to explore other aspects of 4UR Ranch, such as miles of trails for horseback riding, a hot springs spa, massages and yoga. Oh, and don’t forget the good food and wine.

We hope that once you’ve experienced the ranch by yourself or with girlfriends, you’ll want to come back with your families and have a family ranch vacation. There is so much to do here on the ranch, for the whole family. The southern Rockies are breathtakingly beautiful, and draw you into the wilderness; there are miles of trails to hike or explore by horseback. Your children may venture out with you, enroll in our Kids Program, or do both. You will be amazed to see your children riding like real cowboys and cowgirls by the end of your stay, and even more pleased to see how confident they feel thanks to their accomplishments.
