Two Bars Seven Dude Ranch - The most authentic dude ranch in Colorado and Wyoming

Home at the Ranch

Two Bars Seven Ranch was established in the late 1800's-even before Wyoming became a state. Located on both sides of the Colorado-Wyoming border, it is a little more than 2 hours drive north of the Denver airport, but worlds away from the pressures of modern life.

As a guest at Two Bars Seven Ranch, you'll step back in time, discovering all the adventure that this scenic 3,000-acre working cattle ranch and adjacent National Forest land has to offer.

Our ranch guests say we have something beautifully unique here and this is the best riding and scenery they have ever experienced. While sitting at the breakfast table you can watch the wrangler bringing in the horse herd for the day's riding or catch sight of a dashing coyote, deer or elk. Be a part of getting the horses ready and learn as much about horses and riding, as you would like. When you go for a ride for either cattle work or scenic riding there is always a wrangler. The rides are not generic "nose to tail" park rides. We don't ride single file when the terrain allows, but the safety and enjoyment of all riders is our main priority. You could be moving the cattle to fresh grazing range where we meet up with the rest of the ranch folks and spend the evening there with a campfire dinner and maybe fishing at one of our hideaway spring fed ponds.

Wildlife watching and nature walks are a special attraction. This is one of the best places for wildlife viewing, and for flowers and bird watching, where 56 birds species were counted. Our riders meet up with our non-rider nature lovers for lunch out in the forest or back at the ranch house. Grandma and grandpa may choose to come out with the lunch wagon to see what we are doing with the cattle.

As for day trips off the ranch, there is the Overland Trail old stage coach station to visit. We are in the middle of a historical west and in close proximity to noted dinosaur remains and geological sites. Many books have been written about native american and cowboy history. Much of the true west, as it was, is still here, plus some of the best whitewater rafting, ballooning, country dancing, rodeos, and wild horse herds.

We strive to keep guest fees both affordable and accessible to the wide variety of guests that we host here, including vacationers, family reunions, small conferences, retreats, and people with special dietary needs. If you have a question, we'll be happy to address it.
