The Wind River Ranch, in Estes Park Colorado, recently finished construction of an impressive climbing wall with three (3) separate climbing surfaces as well as a 600ft dual zipline.
Pretty impressive if you ask me..
Here are some neat construction photos from the build, along with the finished final product!
For all you east coasters planning a Disney World trip before your ranch vacation, there’s a somewhat hidden gem to consider..
Nestled within mouseland is the ‘Tri Circle D Ranch’ (get it? tri circles = mouse head + D = Disney)..
Although not a full blown dude ranch, it offers a bevy of horseback riding activities, including 45 minute trail rides around the natural woodlands surrounding the property. Stable tours & Carriage rides are also available for those with smaller children.
A wonderful opportunity, though, for families interested in some initial riding before they embark on their official ranch vacation!

The L.A. Times travel writer Christopher Reynolds zoomed through Arizona recently to celebrate the state’s centennial. In a twitter like homage, he produced a 100 second video highlighting the state’s history and outdoor adventures. Baked into that homage is a visit to the Flying E Ranch in Wickenburg. Strap in and take a peek!
