Elk Mountain Ranch
‘Colorado’s Highest Guest Ranch’
Elevated at 9,600 feet, Elk Mountain Ranch is the highest of its kind in Colorado. As such, spectacular views of Arkansas Valley and the Collegiate Peaks can be admired. Meanwhile, the local town of Buena Vista is considered the “white water rafting capital of Colorado”. As well as rafting, activities at the lodge include mountain biking, horse riding, fishing and archery. Children have their own special programme with activities they will love.
