News from the Upper Rio Grande

Outfitting
We are so pleased to announce the transfer of our outfitting business into the capable hands of Greg Pearson of Ute Creek Outfitters & Guide Services, LLC. Many of you have had the pleasure of meeting Greg at Freemon’s Ranch where he lives with his wife, Star, and daughter, Waverly. Greg has been a strong part of the Creede community through his work fighting fires with the US Forest Service. We feel Greg will be continuing and in fact building upon a great tradition of service in the Upper Rio Grande area. He brings with him his own sense of solid expertise, experiences, and great enthusiasm. We’re certain his business is going be a great success, and a super addition to the Creede area.

Greg will be starting his horseback and hiking outfitting business this summer and we hope you will please show him your greatest support and encouragement.

If you would like to book a drop camp, pack trip or day ride, or just want to send him your best wishes, please e-mail Greg at utecreekcreede@gmail.com or call him at 719-658-2454.

Cabins
The cabins are now for sale, individually and privately. Although we are no longer operating the Guest Ranch business, since we have returned home, we are able to consider a few cabin rentals throughout the summer (June, August, September – July is already booked). If you’re interested in a short or long term stay, please drop us an e-mail at losttrailranch@gmail.com.

Family
Bob & Gin have returned home from an awesome winter in northern Washington, and Forrest has just completed his freshman year at Quest University Canada. We’ll all three be working together as a team this summer on continual property improvements, a little bit of digging ditch, and a lot of enjoying life on the Upper Rio Grande!
Hope to see you there!

Warmly,
Bob, Gin & Forrest Getz
Lost Trail Ranch

Thank you...

Thirty years ago, Bob Getz began his outfitting business here at Lost Trail Ranch out of the old barn his Grand dad had built a generation earlier.  Through the years, as Bob's commitment to the ranch, business, mountain and the clients strengthened, Bob purchased the guest ranch from his family and began renovating and transforming the cabins from the once old log hunting cabins, into bright, clean, spacious, modern and truly beautiful mountain cabins.  Completely off grid, but far from roughing it, our guests have basked in the comforts, conveniences and beauty reflected in Bob's hard work.

Gin and Forrest joined hands with Bob in 2002 and continued Bob's efforts and dreams. Together they transformed Lost Trail Ranch into their year round home and business, a first for this remote mountain, once considered only a summer destination. Their business blossomed together, turning Lost Trail Ranch into a warm and welcoming, family friendly, modern and comfortable home away from home for many a guest.

We have been honored to share our home and these magnificent mountains with so many of you over the past ten years. Now, we are excited for this transition from the outfitting and guest cabin rental business onto our own new ventures in life, and at the same time, allowing us the opportunity to pass on the legacy of Lost Trail Ranch for those who truly desire to own a piece of paradise.  Although no longer our clients, we look forward to having you now as our neighbor.

We are sincerely grateful for your support, business and for so many of you, your friendship.  We thank you for the years of being able to serve you and share with you our mountain home. Our goal has been to provide the most comfortable, clean and welcoming environment for our guests to come enjoy and share the beauty of this pristine wilderness. We are now thrilled with the opportunity to move on and share the ownership of this magnificent ranch and land with you.

Warmly,

Bob, Gin & Forrest Getz (and Gunnar)
