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.
