What to Bring on your Vacation to Lost Trail Ranch! 

For each of our Summer Guests, we recommend bringing the following: towels, linens (sheets and blankets and/or sleeping bag), comfortable hiking shoes, riding boots, clothing for a week in the mountains (where temperatures range from about 65-80 degrees during the day, down to 35-45 degrees at night), a rain jacket for the possible afternoon rain shower, flashlight, sunscreen and hat for the intense Colorado sunshine, a water bottle to take with you when you ride or hike (it’s very important to drink plenty of water when you’re at this high elevation).

Please remember to bring along all the fixings for your meals and snacks while you’re at Lost Trail Ranch, because the nearest grocery store is an hour away – and once you’re here, you probably won’t want to leave!  We recommend that you bring along any paper products (toilet paper, paper towels, etc.) and cleaning products that you may need for your stay, as well.  For longer stays, we recommend a resupply at the Kentucky Belle Market in Creede.

Our four main cabins each have a full fridge with freezer.  Kitchens have running hot and cold water sinks, 4-burner stoves with oven, and are stocked with pots, pans, plates and utensils - and if there is anything else you might need for cooking up a good hearty ranch meal.  Outside of each cabin there is a fire pit and/or a wood and charcoal grill.  If you'd like to use charcoal, don't forget to bring some along.

We would also like to remind you that you should be certain to have on hand any prescription medications that you and anyone in your group may be needing, as well as any recommended medications for high altitude.  A first aid kit containing these items should be considered.
