Backcountry Trail Ride

Experience firsthand what wonders the West Elk Mountains have to offer at Smith Fork Ranch. With grand peaks, deep canyons, lush basins and clear waters, the several hundred thousand acres of wilderness surrounding the Ranch beckon visitors out with vibrant beauty, making their own appeal to our guests' sense of adventure year round.

Private Fly FishingWhether you want to go fishing, riding or hiking, Smith Fork Ranch is a great gateway to adventure. Our activities staff are exceptionally well-versed in the ways of the wilderness, and will facilitate a wonderful, western outdoor experience -- whether spring, summer, fall or winter -- for both the first-timer and the seasoned adventurer. The Ranch can provide equipment, horses, guides and direction for these and a wealth of other activities.

“This week has been one of the greatest family vacations I’ve ever been a part of.  As my mom will tell you I’m the first to dismiss things, and so when I say something is the best, I mean it!  Riding horses for the first time was a pleasure.  The horses were great, but the staff and everyone else were absolutely amazing.  I’ve never seen so many good people at one place in my life.  I will miss the ranch and everyone that makes it what it is. Thanks for the good times.”
