SUMMER TRAIL RIDES.

Shadow Mountain Guest Ranch was established in 1936 as a guest ranch by the Carmichael Family. Today Jim White has maintained the beauty and simplicity of days long gone. Among aspen and pine trees, all the private cabins have queen beds, one has recently been upgraded to a KING bed. The school house, a three bedroom cabin, sleeps up to 12 people and has a fireplace. Cabins have full kitchens or kitchenettes and gas grills for preparing your favorite family meals.

The central, historic, log lodge has two large stone fireplaces and a comfortable seating area for conversation, satellite television, card games and socializing with other guests. Enjoy their hot tub for the ultimate in relaxation. If wading in a cold mountain stream is all the exercise you want, then try your fly-fishing luck on Willow Creek for rainbow trout right here. Or sit on your porch and watch moose wade through the creek.

Big game hunting is available on the ranch and the surrounding forest. Hunters enjoy meals prepared for them by the ranch. Game packing services are available in Granby.
