Colorado truly comes alive between April and September. As snow melts into rushing rivers and wildflowers blanket the foothills, the state shifts from quiet winter landscapes to vibrant outdoor adventure. Whether you prefer peaceful garden strolls or high-alpine hikes, this is when Colorado shows off.
If you're planning a vacation in the breathtaking high country of Colorado, you're in for fresh air, stunning scenery, and unforgettable adventures. But there's one thing that often surprises visitors—just how important hydration becomes at higher elevations.
Whether you're heading to Breckenridge, Vail, Aspen, or any of the amazing mountain towns Colorado has to offer, staying hydrated is one of the easiest and most effective ways to feel your best and make the most of your trip.
Colorado, known for its stunning Rocky Mountains and breathtaking landscapes, offers some of the best white water rafting experiences in the United States. Whether you're a seasoned rafter seeking the thrill of challenging rapids or a beginner looking for a fun family adventure, Colorado's rivers provide an unforgettable outdoor experience.
We are approaching summer in the Colorado mountains. Colorado mountain activities will be full steam ahead. Now is the time to start planning for whitewater rafting trips from easy float trips to experienced class 5 rapids. Summer also means scenic zip lining, horseback riding through the Colorado Rockies or being part of a cattle drive. Go fishing in mountain streams. Colorado activities also include hay rides for the family or enjoy going off road on a atv, jeep or a razor, want more excitement go rock climbing or take a train ride through the mountains with awe inspiring views.

Tired of the nose-to-tail horseback rides on vacation? At the Rusty Spurr Ranch, our guests and horses have more freedom to explore. There are many things that make our adventures different from the typical trail rides. First of all, we encourage our guests to “Get Outta Line” and ride off-trail with their guide wherever the terrain allows. Everyone has done the mundane single-file trail rides and we wanted to offer something different. Our well-trained horses and professional guides create the perfect experience where guests learn to communicate and navigate their horses while riding through aspen groves, wildflower meadows, and mountaintops. Next, we are centrally located between Winter Park, Breckenridge, and Steamboat Springs resorts and we ride on a private ranch. No disturbing noises from ATV’s, bikes, or barking dogs here- it’s just our guests meandering the peaceful mountain meadows and trails while enjoying incredible views of the Continental Divide and surrounding ranges. Also, each of our wranglers has a strong equestrian background and must pass a lengthy interview and training period to guide rides. We put safety first and then have a whole lotta fun! Lastly, we take great pride in our horses. We own them, not lease them, and they are meticulously cared for from head to hoof. None of our horses work more than 4 hours in a single day and they are turned out every night to be free to graze and play with the herd on 2,000 acres. We also match each horse to their rider according to height, weight, and riding ability so that each guest can have a more customized experience. If you are looking for a unique horseback adventure, consider visiting the Rusty Spurr Ranch where we love what we do!
Here we are another winter season and there are a host of activities to do. Snowmobiling tops the list from tours with professional guides to renting one on your own. Ride through the trees to open bowls above treeline and up to the continental divide with unbelievable views. Next go on a dog sled ride where you can actually mush the dogs. Popular for families, groups or couples is taking a dinner sleigh ride through forested trails and back for a delicious meal and entertainment. There are adventures such as ziplining, horseback riding through the snow, ice climbing with professional guides for beginners as well as the experienced climber. Try ice fishing for the fisherman in you or relax and take a train tour through the Rocky Mountains or join Joel for a cannabis tour and to bars or breweries for a fun night with plenty of laughs and see Joel perform magic tricks in front of your eyes. Have a memorable mountain experience!!
