@April
Thanks for stopping by. I’m a travel writer. I review guest ranches. If you end up doing this ride at Sylvan Dale Ranch, I’d love for you to write a guest post and share your experience.

Hi Sylan Dale Guest Ranch –

I was told that you have a horse back riding deal that one could ride up the ride and there would be a Chef at the top preparing steaks for dinner. Then once dinner is over you ride down the mountain. It this correct and if so how much does it cost? Do you run this event during the winter season? How long does it take from start to finish?

Please reply at april02204@yahoo.com

Thank you,
Merry Christmas
April

I LOVE the Sylvan Dale Guest Ranch! I haven’t been there for many years, since I moved from Colorado to Arizona (by way of Virginia), but I lived only 45 minutes from Loveland, and Sylvan Dale was my favorite guest ranch to take visitors to (those that wanted a “real Cowboy” experience and to do some horseback riding). But as you can see from the first photo, it’s a lovely place to visit for the holidays as well and they do sleigh rides with the jingle bells and sing carols (they used to anyway – it was a real treat for anyone who lives where they DON’T get to enjoy a classic white christmas!)

Let me know if you do get there for the Cowgirl Round-Up – that’s a blast and I’d love to plan a trip up to Loveland to join you!
