Zapata Ranch
Mosca, Colorado
It's not exactly City Slickers, but it's not that far from it, either. Zapata Ranch offers a number of packages for those who want to experience life on a working cattle ranch. During your trip, you'll be housed in the comfort of the ranch's historic headquarters, where you'll start your day with a hearty hot breakfast before heading out on a horseback ride, which could involve driving cattle, exploring the San Luis Valley, visiting the nearby Great Sand Dunes National Park, or riding into the Sangre de Cristo Mountains for an overnight trip. There's also plenty to do back at the ranch, with fly-fishing, wildlife watching, massages, and yoga all available before a gourmet dinner. No calf-birthing experience required — we promise.
