Howdy from Kevin, Lisa and the entire Tesch family of Tarryall River Ranch! Thank you for checking out our ranch! We are in our 10th year of owning and operating Tarryall and have a passion for our guests, horses and the Western lifestyle. We truly love sharing our little slice of heaven with so many fantastic people from around the world and would love for you to share in the experience and magic of Tarryall River Ranch too!
In the heart of the beautiful Tarryall Mountains, the ranch offers unsurpassed riding and fishing in a truly magnificent setting. Towering rocks and peaks allow for spectacular trails and views across the valley. Varied terrain offers rides with high scenic viewpoints and open spaces to ride like the wind! All-day and half-day rides available plus an overnight pack trip! The Tarryall River winds its way along the mountains and through the ranch, bringing great fishing right to your doorstep. Make yourself at home in one of our charming cabins, enjoy delicious home-cooked cuisine in the comfortable ranch-house style lodge, or relax by the heated pool and hot tub. After dinner, line dance with us or enjoy the serenades of classic cowboy ballads, come on a hayride, or simply enjoy the serenity of a Rocky Mountain evening. Optional children's and teen's programs keep the kids having fun and experiencing the West all day! A paradise for any age, make Tarryall your home-away-from-home this summer and remember, there are no strangers in our corner of the west!

Recreation Overview
Each day you'll have any number of fun options, or you can just take it easy by the Tarryall pool or go for a hike around the ranch amid the breathtaking scenery. You can ride your own horse on any number of picturesque trails guided by our experienced wranglers. Or perhaps you'd prefer to team-pen or practice for the ranch rodeo in the arena. We always have plenty of choices so you can choose your level and destination for morning and afternoon rides. You may want to try the overnight ride and sleep in a tent or out under the stars. You can fall in love with your horse and spend hours in the saddle in gorgeous country. What a great way to see the mountains! Or you can take your fishing pole and spend a few quiet hours down by the river; there is nothing quite like the thrill of that rainbow on your line. You can even practice your marksmanship at our weekly trapshooting. Kids love the ranch-built playground when they aren't out riding or fishing, or spending time at the petting zoo. And everyone enjoys a day trip to some of the best whitewater rafting in the state. Also, there are miles of spectacular hiking trails, great rocks for bouldering, and more! Whatever you choose, each day will be a great day here at the Tarryall River Ranch.
Dining Overview
Get ready for some mouthwatering cuisine here at Tarryall! Not only is Bridget a part of the Tesch family, she is our head chef, and no one can bake like she does! In addition, we always have plenty of delicious main courses and side dishes along with yummy desserts. Whether at a cookout by the pool, an outside barbeque, enjoying bacon and eggs cooked over an open fire on the Breakfast Ride or everyone gathered in the lodge dining room, each meal is truly a treat here at the ranch!
