    Our guides for the trip :)

    We were visiting from California and my mother in law decided to surprise us and our 1 year old with a sleigh ride. It was so fun and the scenery was absolutely beautiful. Every single person on the ranch had a warm and friendly personality. We felt safe and welcomed. I was worried because we had my 1 year old but he enjoyed it just as much as we did. Safe for children and a lovely idea for a family outing. We will be back.

    We live in Durango but wanted to treat our daughter and her 3 1/2 year old son to a traditional sleigh ride. Weather was going to be iffy that day but it snowed a little and the sun came out for a bit--perfect Durango weather!! The ranch hands were great and very accommodating. The sleigh was packed with cozy blankets! The 45 minute ride was just long enough :) Also, after our ride, our driver went into their waiting room area to turn on the overhead electric train for my grandson! Oh! And the driver was nice enough to get our grandson up on their horse for a phot op :)

    We noticed this ranch on the way in and knew we had to do this as a family. I am so glad we did because it made for a great New Year's Day experience. When we arrived, we were able to warm up a bit with some hot chocolate. We were lucky enough to get the first sleigh where we met our guide Dilon and his best friend Boomer along with Virgil and Morgan, the horses. Dilon was so nice to talk with and Boomer, his dog, kept us entertained as we made our way around the beautiful property. We dressed for cold weather and the blankets provided kept us nice and warm. This was an unforgettable experience that we will never forget. You MUST experience this for yourself.

    We went on the sleigh ride. What a fun, unique experience! Everyone was so friendly as were the animals ( horses, cat, dogs, llamas ). The cocoa was yummy and the scenery was beautiful!

    Our family was in Durango for a family reunion and Bears Ranch was suggested to us as an activity. In typical fashion, my family one at a time told me they wanted to go. I reserved a few spots online. Shockingly, more family members wanted to go, after I made our reservation. I decided to call to make it easier to explain my crazy family. They were super accommodating and were able to squeeze all 9 of us on the same ride. ($125 cash or cc $139/person). The trail was beautiful and the views were just amazing. The guides were attentive and friendly. Highly recommend checking them out while in Durango!!

    Horses are perfect for first time riders.

    See all

    This horseback ride was a wonderful experience for my family who actually took two different two hour trail rides during our week in the Hermosa area(Sept 2022).

    My girlfriend and I stayed here in early June 2014. The first few hours we were there we spent in…read morecomplete shock. The land was so extraordinary, the food was better than some 5 star restaurants we've been to, and the staff were down to earth and friendly. The owner of the ranch ate with us at almost all of our meals! Granted, we came during the pre-season so there weren't as many guests as usual, all the same, it was a real treat. Our cabin was so sweet and comfortable! It has everything you need, but not so much that you lose the ranch feel that you came for. We went on a full-day ride up a mountain, the views were as breathtaking as you you would expect, if not more so! The horses were very tame and well behaved. The wranglers were accommodating. We had a special day with the utility-man and his son, fly fishing. They have stocked ponds on the grounds full of huge trout that they are happy to cook up for you if you want! OH and I couldn't write a review of tho place without mentioning the humming birds! They have several feeders out on the porch and there at least a hundred (it would seem) Humming birds zooming by! They are so sweet and not a nuisance by any means... We thought they were so cool!! This place also offers mountain biking and other mountain activities in addition to horse back riding! We will be back! This place is worth every penny and every minute it takes you to get there! GO!

    The staff at WTR is attentive and made me feel like I was part of the family. I went on an…read more'adults only' week and although I hadn't ridden in years, the wranglers perfectly matched me with a horse and my skills soared under their guidance. The riding started with scenic walks but progressed (based on everyone's ability) to challenging rides up to a 10k ft peak. The food was fantastic, not 'fussy' but delicious. hearty and plentiful. The cabins were as expected, although the bed was really firm. The shower was powerful and hot and perfect to come back to at the end of a 6 hour ride. Bring earplugs if you're a light sleeper because the squirrels party all night long. No TV's, internet or phone service in the cabins but you can use wi-fi in the main ranch house. My only phone signal for the week was at the top of a mountain. Then again, I took the trip to escape it all. At WTR, I learned to ride with confidence, rope, sort cattle and more. I also made some international friendships (the American West and cowboy culture is well marketed overseas). This vacation fulfilled my cowgirl dreams and the one thing I didn't expect... to leave the ranch in tears. Best vacation I've ever taken!
