Welcome to Winter at Lost Trail Ranch!

    

Please click on any photo to see a larger image.

Inside, it's probably the most private, secluded, beautiful and comfortable place you'll ever be at home in.  Outside, the adventure starts right at your doorstep...

A winter resort... with all the comforts you can ask for, more beauty than you can imagine, but without crowds, and without any "resort" attitude.  More like a hut in it's privacy and peace, but oh-so-much more than the huts! Who would guess something so remote could be so comfortable...

With only two winterized guest cabins here on the mountain, privacy can be assured, but reservations are limited!  Please e-mail us check on availability and to make your reservations.

   

Welcome to our winter paradise at Lost Trail Ranch...

...where you'll find the remote wilderness so inviting, and a winter wonderland feels so comfortable...

...where crowds do not exist, and the pristine mountains and wildlife are all that surround you...

...where a day of snowshoeing, back country skiing, or snowmobiling right from the front door of your cabin, brings you to some of the most beautiful and untravelled trails available...

...where wide open white parks and untouched powder temp you to play, or head out on an adventure up and over the Divide, or just kick back and relax in your warm cozy cabin...

...where you're feel right at home in your own little bit of paradise...

           

Winter Guest Cabins

Getting to the ranch is an adventure in itself!  Our Guests snowmobile, x-country ski, or snow shoe in about 6 1/2 miles on our wide open trail from our parking area at the Rio Grande Reservoir Dam.  Arrangements may be made to have your gear hauled in by our family on our sleds, enabling our guests to ski or snow shoe in without a load!  Cabins are truly beautiful and comfortable, with full kitchen and bath, two bedrooms, wood heat, and huge southern windows.  What to expect here at the ranch during the winter season?  Check out our DETAILS page with information on what to expect, what to pack, etc. for our winter guests, and as always, please feel free to e-mail us at any point .  We'd be glad to help in any way we can.

Remember, our guests bring in their own sleeping bags or linens, and all the food and beverages they'd like for their stay (please see our Recommended Packing List on the DETAILS page). 

For the 2010/2011 winter season, our two winterized cabins (#5 Cliff Dweller Cabin, and #7 Spruce Hollow Cabin) each rent for $160 plus tax per night, with a two night minimum, based upon a four person occupancy.  There is an additional $25 fee per night for each additional person.

And a note for our SNOWMOBILE guests

Looking to get away from crowds and do something more than ride the same old trails? Get lost… Lost Trail Ranch. Snowmobile in/out to the most incredible high mountain hideaway east of the Divide. Getting to the ranch is an adventure in itself!  Snowmobile in about 6 1/2 miles on our wide open trail above the Rio Grande Reservoir.  Sled right to your front door. With only two winterized guest cabins here on the mountain, privacy can be assured, and crowds will be miles and miles away. Off grid and far off the beaten path, the cabins feel like home and more. Each cabin is warm and comfortable, with full kitchen and bath, two bedrooms, wood heat, and huge southern windows. You’re miles away from crowds, and town, so bring along your groceries here and make yourself at home. Who would guess something so remote could be so comfortable?

Inside, it's probably the most private, secluded, beautiful and comfortable place you'll ever be at home in.  Outside, the adventure starts right at your doorstep...

From your front door, be prepared to hit the high country, and explore where crowds do not exist, and pristine mountains and ultimate back country adventures are all that surround you. There’s no better way to hit the high country, where wide open white parks and untouched powder temp you to play, or head out on an adventure up and over the Divide, or just kick back and relax in your warm cozy cabin (believe it or not, despite all the wild mountain terrain waiting to be explored, people do enjoy that here too).

              

   

And for those of you who like to track the weather here during the winter season, why not subscribe to the Colorado Avalanche Information Center - help support some interested and important work, and get the best up-to-date weather forecasts?  Check out their web site at http://avalanche.state.co.us/  Otherwise, our best bet is watching the national weather forecasts for Creede, CO, on the Weather Channel web site at http://www.weather.com/?from=secondarynav ,   then subtract a few degrees, and add a few inches of snow!
