The entire Rawah staff was above and beyond helpful and friendly every day. The Rawah horses are excellent trail animals and each guest is matched to a horse based on riding ability. The wranglers are confident, professional, helpful and friendly. My son and husband had very little experience with horses and can't wait to ride again. I have lots of riding experience and was matched to Smokey that had pep in his step and is a solid trail horse. My biggest concern about this type of riding was trail nags of which I didn't see any. Extra thanks to Hinkley for knocking out a merit badge, Grace and Britta for beautiful trails and views. Mason was a terrific fishing guide! His patience and prep time made fly fishing more understandable and fun to try. He spent extra time with our son helping him to successfully cath 3 fish and fulfill his scout fly fishing merit badge. Hanging out in the stream, tossing a line, and taking in the mountain views is a wonderful way to spend a Tuesday morning. Chris and Paul were really fun and helpful on the shooting range.

Chris and Paul were really fun and helpful on the shooting range. My first time shooting skeet and they were helpful and fun! We all had a great time and saw a little wildlife too.
Abby, Kelcey, and Laura are amazing trail guides. Pointing out natural highlights, finding flora and fauna and keeping guests safe. These are fantastic hiking trails with lots to see and varying degrees of difficulty. During the week days we ran into very few people outside of ranch guests. Sounds like the weekends are pretty busy on the trails so something to think about when planning your desired activities.
The food is amazing! We are picky about quality and have been very underwhelmed at other resorts. Portions here are just right and the food is delicious! Breakfast covers all the basics and is freshly tailored to you. Eat as much or little as you would like. Lunch is on the lighter side which was perfect for us, and then yummy, fancy appetizers, and a delicious 3 to 4 course meal. They also take care of special dietary needs. The chefs, waitstaff, and bartender Chris all make you feel spoiled waiting on your every need.
Lisa and Brooks make you feel welcomed and excited to be on the ranch! Their hospitality was second to None! I can't leave out housekeeping either. So friendly and fast fixing up your cabin daily!
We truly wanted an active and adventure vacation and Rawah Ranch surpassed our expectations!
Thanks for the memories! More read less
