Days at Sylvan Dale are filled with hands-on ranch experiences and outdoor activities.

You can also try your hand at cattle herding or participate in fun ranch chores to get a true taste of daily life on a working ranch. Afternoons offer a variety of options: hike scenic trails, enjoy fly-fishing in the Big Thompson River, or relax by the seasonal heated pool while taking in panoramic mountain views. Game courts, archery, and plenty of open space ensure there’s something for everyone. Evenings are magical, gather around a campfire under star-filled skies, enjoy hearty ranch-style meals, or unwind on your cabin porch, soaking up the tranquil sounds of nature.
