2. Drowsy Water Ranch

Round up the whole family and trot over to Granby’s Drowsy Water Ranch, where the kiddos can spend the week learning how to be a Colorado cowpoke. Wake up on a sunny morning and take a 30-minute horseback ride up to a mountaintop breakfast. As you wander up the trail, you’ll start to smell bacon in the air, but you’ll know you’ve arrived when you see a rancher whipping up fluffy eggs and spicy sausage in a big black pan. Tuck in and fuel up for a day of ziplining, archery and hiking. At dinner time, dig into hearty family-style meals in the dining room, where you can talk all about the day’s adventures. Then play a few games in the library and head over to your warm, wood-paneled cabins. There, you can dive into cushy bedding and rest up for even more excitement.

3. The Inn at Silvercreek

Wake up and gaze at snowcapped scenery (and maybe a meandering elk or two) from your in-room balcony at The Inn at SilverCreek. When the sun rises, do a few laps in the heated outdoor pool or just rejuvenate in one of their four steaming hot tubs. Challenge your group to a game in the arcade or play a few rounds at the on-site tennis courts. When you get a little hungry, the barbeque and picnic areas are the best place to flip some burgers and hang out with friends and family in the fresh air. Come winter, remember to tune up your skis, because this inn is only a four-minute drive from the stunning, spacious slopes at Granby Ranch.

Just a few miles away, you'll find the Colorado River’s Gold Medal waters ideal for fly fishing along the sunny banks. Once you’ve packed up the tackle box, wash up and walk to a local restaurant like Grand Azteca Mexican Restaurant. They’re best-known for their cheesy, green-chili-covered burritos.
