There aren’t many people at our Colorado Dude Ranch during the off season, and sometimes that can be a bit lonely. However, there are a few perks. One is soaking in Soda Creek Hot Springs, which isn’t possible during the summer. Another is playing pond hockey. Can’t do that in the summer. Still another is … Read More
