Colorado Trails Dude Ranch Extends Incredible 50th Anniversary Rates

Jan. 17, 2012 - PRLog -- Colorado Trails, a popular Colorado dude ranch, has decided to extend its special 50th anniversary rates to help out families who are looking for all-inclusive family vacations but are struggling with the down economy. A dude ranch in Colorado may not have Disney characters, but it does provide plenty of outdoor adventure and opportunities for family members to reconnect.

A Guest Ranch with a Long History

Colorado Trails Dude Ranch has been providing families with a place to vacation since 1961. Although guest ranches in the west have a long history, visiting a guest ranch for a family vacation didn't become “mainstream” until well after Colorado Trails was founded.

Colorado Trails is proud to be a dude ranch that's always been a dude ranch. In other words, many so-called dude ranches came about when a regular, working ranch was re-purposed to become a guest ranch. Because Colorado Trails has always been used as a guest ranch, it's always been a comfortable, relaxing place for visitors, rather than a rough working ranch that's been re-fitted for guests.

In 2011, to celebrate its 50th anniversary, Colorado Trails announced special anniversary rates on its website, ColoradoTrails.com. This year, the dude ranch has decided to extend these rates in order to do its part to help families who are struggling with an economy that still hasn't fully recovered.

Special Rates for 2012

The special rates for 2012 make it easy for families with children looking to take an affordable, yet fun for everyone vacation. Here are some examples of the current offers from Colorado Trails:
•   15% discount for all visitors booking vacations for June 3 – June 17
•   10% discount for the date of August 12
•   20% discount for August 26 – September 23
•   15% discount for groups of two or more families
•   For families of three, the third child is free

From a Western dance night to horseback riding, hiking in the beautiful San Juan Mountains to fly fishing, from the Durango Melodrama to power tubing, Colorado Trails is a place filled with outdoor adventures. For parents who've been looking for a way to get their kids away from their video games and into the great outdoors, at least for a little while, Colorado Trails Dude Ranch is the perfect solution.
