"5280" Denver's Mile-High Magazine
Top Weekend Getaway - EDITOR'S CHOICE
Editors at 5280 chose Smith Fork Ranch as the first pick for weekends away in Colorado in their annual issue.


You'll need a long weekend to get away to the Smith Fork Ranch as it's a four-and-a-half hour drive to the ranch's Crawford location. But once there, you'll be handsomely rewarded with unparalleled luxury and untainted views of Gunnison National Forest and the West Elk Wilderness area (the least used wilderness area in Colorado). With a maximum of 20 guests, the ranch is the perfect getaway for the hiker, the equestrian, or those in the market for some good ol' peace and quiet. Foodies take note: Sept. 25 to Sept. 28, chef extraordinaire Bob Isaacson hosts a culinary weekend coinciding with the Paonia Harvest Festival. We can't think of a better way to escape the big city.
