When it comes to children and teens at Elkhorn ranch, we have one philosophy: Make them feel special.
Through a powerful combination of family and individual activities and freedom they've probably never experienced, you'll watch your children spread their wings before your eyes.
"A perfect evening!"
"11 of us did the sleigh ride dinner. It could not have been better. It was a beautiful night and the horses are magnificent. Paul was our excellent driver who managed to find 3 moose and a couple of elk. I really want to give a shout out to the chef who prepared an excellent meal. Even with my food allergies he took great care. I would highly recommend this fun evening."

"We keep coming back"
“The perfect family vacation, where parents and children go their separate horseback ways and return at mealtime to share their experience. A great string of horses and wranglers, along with some of the most spectacular Rocky Mountain scenery, make this place special. Lots of great memories are made here. ”
