The High Lonesome RanchExactly as wild as you want.

A modern wilderness.

With a healthy respect for the past

and an eye towards the future.

If it’s possible to improve on what

nature intended, this would be the

place. Our ranch is where brave and

hardy pioneers settled over a hundred

years ago. Today at The High

Lonesome Ranch, we diligently

continue their ranching heritage,

by reinvesting a large portion of our

revenues and using the latest

conservation practices to enhance

the land and waters.

While you’re here, you own the place.

The High Lonesome Ranch is where you can escape the trappings of everyday life and find out who you really are. While you’re here you will find 300 secluded square miles where you can reconnect with your family, your friends, your colleagues and, most importantly, yourself. On horseback, on bike, or on foot. Fish, hunt, ride and climb. By day, you’ll be tested and thrilled. By night, you’ll be pleasantly wined and dined. You won’t just look at the stars, you’ll be treated like one. The High Lonesome Ranch.

Our flushing birds are sure to keep you on your toes.

Five species of birds. Hungarian

partridge, pheasant, scaled quail,

Gambel’s quail, and chukars love the

cover of rye and wheat fields, the

sagebrush flats, the creek bottoms,

and mountain slopes. We plant and work

the land every year to keep it that way.

Two full time dog trainers work our 46

English pointers and pointing and

flushing labs. Kennels to accommodate

your dogs. Whatever your skill level,

you’re in for a great time – every shoot

is custom tailored. We provide friendly,

expert guides who will chaperone you

through our coverts. The Lonesome

Outfitter will serve up things you forgot,

and offer you shotgun rentals to simplify

your travel to the ranch. The High

Lonesome Ranch is one of the finest

wing shooting opportunities in this

part of the world. And you can’t beat the

Colorado Rockies for some

breathtaking scenery.

We don’t like to brag, but if you don’t

wear yourself out on the trout around

here, you’re not trying. Join our Grand

Slam Club by catching a brook, brown,

rainbow, and cutthroat trout in one day.

It doesn’t happen every day, but it

happens often enough. Or join our

25-inch club. Our trout grow big, with

the ranch record at over 12 pounds. No

doubt, the water helps make this place

special. Our exclusive spring creek

meanders down our valley for miles

through a series of ponds and small

lakes for you to discover – and so

peacefully isolated, you may never see

another soul all day. Or head to our

K-T Ranch in Meeker and fish seven

miles of the White River and three

spring creeks. Hatches come off all year

long. Add in a float trip on the nearby

Roaring Fork and Colorado Rivers, and

you'll have your own Western sampler.

There’s something for everyone, from

beginner to expert. Our Lonesome

Outfitter shop is fully stocked with the

best gear, and it’s a great place to gather

for fly-fishing tips, to arrange profes-

sional casting instructions, and to hear

some stories. And remember, nothing

grows faster than a fish from when it

bites until it gets away.

Fly-fishing fanatics are in for the trip of a lifetime.

Guided wildlife safari, Colorado style.

The High Lonesome Ranch, with its

the experience for you. Here’s an
