Advice Plz: Guest Ranchs In Colorado

Has any one been to a really nice Guest Ranch this summer that they can recommend to us.

All suggestions will be appreciated.

Thank you

I have personal experience at two very different Colorado guest ranches. C Lazy U, near Granby, is a bit more of a 'dude ranch' with an indoor pool, kiddie rodeos, better meals, close to Grand Lake and other car-trips, more pricey.
Then there's Focus Ranch, which is more remote, a true 'working ranch', with fishing and home-style cooking. They are both nice, depending on what you want.
We also went to one we liked near Cody, Wyoming-- the K Bar Z.

Thank you MaureenB. We also went to a very nice Guest Ranch in Cody, Wyoming this summer...Bill Cody Ranch. Cody is a very nice town. We definately liked Wyoming and might end up at another guest ranch next summer. We also love Colorado so we wanted to maybe check out one there. I will look up your suggestions...again thank you.

Lane Guest Ranch, near Estes Park, CO/Rocky Mtn. Nat'l Park. We've been there twice and enjoyed it very much. Many activities, high staff/guest ratio.

We visited at Cherokee Park, but several years ago. Wonderful horses and activities for all types.
