BAIR RANCH<\/h1>\n

High Canyon Adventures<\/a> and Bair Ranch offer an authentic Western Colorado ranch experience for families and groups. Bair Ranch is one of the oldest family-owned and operated working ranches in Colorado. The Ranch is located 12 miles east of Glenwood Springs, making it easily accessible from both Aspen and Vail.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Glenwood Springs<\/h2>\n

Glenwood Springs is located at the confluence of the\u00a0Roaring Fork River\u00a0and the\u00a0Colorado River, threading together the\u00a0Roaring Fork Valley\u00a0and a series of smaller towns up and down the Colorado River.<\/p>\n

Roaring Fork Valley<\/h2>\n

The\u00a0Roaring Fork Valley\u00a0is a geographical region in western\u00a0Colorado\u00a0in the\u00a0United States. The Roaring Fork Valley is one of the most affluent regions in Colorado and the U.S.\u00a0 \u00a0It is one of the most populous and economically vital areas of the\u00a0Colorado Western Slope. The Valley is defined by the valley of the\u00a0Roaring Fork River\u00a0and its tributaries, including the\u00a0Crystal\u00a0and\u00a0Fryingpan River. It includes the communities of\u00a0Aspen,\u00a0Snowmass Village,\u00a0Basalt,\u00a0Carbondale, and\u00a0Glenwood Springs.\u00a0<\/sup><\/p>\n

Set between cascading groves of Aspen trees in the White River National Forest and striking canyon walls, Bair Ranch is no doubt one of the most breathtaking places in Glenwood Springs. ~<\/span>glenwoodadventure.com<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Bair Ranch offers some terrific horseback riding opportunities. Cyndie and I went on a the\u00a0Glenwood Canyon 2 Hour Horseback Ride<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Two hours in the saddle is the ideal way to enjoy the\u00a0majestic Western Colorado Rocky Mountains. From\u00a0the stables at ranch headquarters you will climb in\u00a0elevation. You will cross a natural mesa meadow which\u00a0provides opportunities to overlook the Colorado River\u00a0and Glenwood Canyon. As you leave the meadow and\u00a0continue to ascend, the mountain trail vistas of the\u00a0Glenwood Canyon expand as the Colorado River snakes\u00a0lazily through the canyon floor. ~highcayon.com<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Our guide was wonderful, the horses gentle and the views were amazing.\u00a0 There was one other couple scheduled for the ride.\u00a0 After waiting a bit, the other couple didn’t show.\u00a0 We had the whole trail to ourselves.\u00a0 Here are some photos from the ride.\u00a0 I would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting the area.<\/p>\n
