With 172,000 acres of pristine land (yep, it’s really that big and not a typo), Trinchera ranch is where the Colorado adventure you’ve dreamed of comes to life. So, tie a blood knot and toss your line into Trinchera Creek for fast-swimming trout or hop aboard a mountain bike to zigzag across rocky hills and dales. Mountaineering, wildlife viewing and stargazing round out the activity menu.
Each massive lodge room features unique touches like iron bedframes, paintings of bison crossing snowy territory and Southwestern-patterned rugs. Be sure to book one with a private patio for early morning cups of steaming coffee boasting excellent views of the mountains.
What makes it special?
As the sky turns from bright blue to purple, head outside for a comfy chair in front of one of the many outdoor fireplaces to listen to the ranch’s wildlife wake up for the night. You’ll see the massive Trinchera Peak tower in the distance.
