"Susan forgot to mention the Colorado Site, close to Ft. Collins, CO is also close to Rocky Mountain National Park, a great place to fish for trout. You could even rent a cabin along a great trout stream and drive back and forth to the National. Fresh air, blue sky, good people, and good dogs. Sounds like lots of fun to me. Lew" Actually there are two wonderful rivers close by, you can go north and west on Hwy 14 and go up the Poudre canyon, an absolutely beautiful river and national forest that with a few hours of driving will take you to Steamboat Springs! The poudre river is a favorite for fishing and also white water rafting. Estes park and Rocky Mountain National park are about a 45 minute drive from Loveland CO, which is just a few miles from The Ranch.
