Lost Valley Ranch

Set amid the towering pines of Colorado's Pike National Forest, Lost Valley Ranch has operated as a year-round working cattle and horse ranch since 1883. Though the ranch is located just two hours from Denver and Colorado Springs, it's the last few Rocky Mountain miles you'll remember forever -- where the pavement ends and adventure begins. Cozy up in a deluxe mountainside cabin with niceties that include Louis L'Amour paperbacks on the fireplace mantel, your own private porch swing, and simple peace and quiet.
