Anyone have any experience at dude ranches in Colorado?

Question

My family will be there this summer and we want to find one that is nice but not expensive. Something with activities for teens would be good too.

Please answer only if you have been to one with plusses and minusess. Don't google dude ranches in Colorado, 'cause I've already done that.

Answer 1

Take a look at Echo Canyon Ranch in La Veta down in southern Colorado. Even though this one is not "expensive" it is still about $300 per night per person - includes horseback. There is really no such thing as a dude ranch that is not expensive, honestly.
