Get outside!

At almost 3 square miles, The Lorrayne Ranch is a wonder-full collection of rolling hills, mixed forests and spectacular overlooks. Just being at the ranch provides the time and space to get away from our always-on daily lives, slow down, and take a deep breath. What will you do with all this space?

Apart from the equestrian program, the ranch can be experienced in many ways by yourself, with a friend, and as a group. Along with a variety of guided and independent ways to take in the ranch, J146 staff works closely with our partners to create specific activities, sessions, and programs to customize their experience to get the most out of their time at the ranch.

Guided Experiences

Hike the ranch’s meadows and forests

Walk, learn, and wonder as you explore the ranch, take in all it has to offer, and discover the natural history of the area.

Take an ATV tour

Explore every corner of the ranch, or jumpstart your hike, on an ATV or UTV.

Visit the Shooting range

Join your guide and experience the fun and camaraderie of using the range.

Independent Experiences

Wide open landscape

With miles of on- and off-trail hiking, this is the perfect space and opportunity for personal reflection and one-on-one time.

Find your spot

Maybe it’s an overlook to the valley below, a high point to view the majesty of Colorado’s mountain ranges, or a quiet space in an Aspen grove. Finding your spot for solitude, reflection, and contemplation can be a very personal and impactful experience.

BYOMB

(Bring Your Own Mountain Bike!)

The ranch does not currently have a fleet of bikes, but it’s a really nice place to get out for a roll.
