Devil’s Thumb Ranch was named a top 3 destination for spending the Christmas Holiday in the United States in 2023 by Conde Nast Traveler Magazine, and for good reason!
A white Christmas here is more than just a dream, but a certainty in the Rocky Mountains. Dash through blankets of snow on horseback or sleigh ride, or slow down for a scenic tour on skis or snowshoes. Spend silent nights strolling under twinkling lights or wrapped up by the fire under the stars. Create lasting holiday memories with festive special events for the whole family.
*Holiday activities are reserved for lodging guests only and complimentary, with the exception of restaurant dining & stables offerings.
