Around Nathrop
Activities
If you’re staying a few extra days—or just want one adventure outside the ranch—here are some favorites within reach of Deer Valley Ranch.
Half day of rafting
Splash through the Arkansas River with a guided half-day trip. We recommend a half day so you're not too tired for the rest of the celebration. Book ahead; summer weekends fill up fast.
Mt. Princeton Hot Springs
If you want to have more of a relaxing time, soak in natural creekside pools and resort-style tubs at Mt. Princeton Hot Springs.
Hiking — Agnes Vaille Falls
A gentle classic: Agnes Vaille Falls is about a 1.2 mile round-trip hike ending at a waterfall—perfect if you want fresh air. Wear sturdy shoes and bring water.
Later we will have a time for a designated group to go on the hike together.
Horseback riding
Local outfitters offer trail rides through high-country scenery; reserve in advance and let them know your experience level so they can match you with the right ride.
Four-wheeling
Off-road rentals and Jeep-friendly routes are popular in this part of Colorado.
