Bears Ranch

Bears Ranch (formerly Rapp Corral) is nestled at the base of the majestic Hermosa Cliffs, offering breathtaking alpine mountain views and unparalleled stargazing. Guests can enjoy classic winter sleigh rides and scenic horseback trail rides in the spring and summer. Explore the area on foot or by bike to Lake Haviland, where world-class fishing, canoeing, and paddleboarding await. Hiking and biking trails follow the historic Rico-to-Rockwood Animas wagon toll road, and a serene one-mile trek through aspen groves leads to the secluded Forebay Lake for even more fishing and stunning scenery.

Bears Ranch encourages children and families to immerse themselves in the great outdoors while learning about the rich history of the region.
