cabins lodges family groups horse

Circle K Ranch is your perfect dude ranch experience without the high price tag or minimum stay requirements! Specializing in summer vacations, family reunions, retreats and fall big game hunting. We are nestled in the San Juan National Forest along the beautiful Dolores River with riverside lodging, delicious home-cooked meals and warm, friendly hospitality. Hunt and ride horseback in the habitat of Colorado's famous Elk and Mule Deer.

Lodging options include riverside cabins with kitchens, motel rooms, lodge with guest rooms, and bunkhouses (sleep 150). RV and tent sites for groups and seasonal rentals. Full service plan with big savings! (When you choose all meals, lodging and discount horseback riding.)

SUMMER GUESTS enjoy a variety of free ranch activities including our famous mountain cable slide, zip line, low rope course, horseshoes, volleyball, basketball, hiking, fishing and game room with table pool and ping pong.

For an extra charge we offer guided fly-fishing trips either horseback or wade only, and scenic horseback riding through the beautiful San Juan mountains.

HUNTERS! Our goal is to provide affordable quality hunts. We believe the best measure or evaluation of a guide and outfitter is not his percentage kill, hunt fees, food, etc., but rather his percentage of repeat clients. We are proud that each year up to 85% of our clients hunted with us before, many for more than eight years. We encourage you to talk with them about our hunts (References available upon request.) We list successful and non-successful hunters for a more representative opinion.

Location: 26 miles northeast of Dolores on Highway 145.
