My husband and I had a superb two hour ride with Ray (a former Olympic ski jumper and all around athlete) into the aspen groves of the Colorado mountains. Our horses were bred, born, raised and trained on the ranch. All the horses and mules are in excellent condition, have great temperaments and are well schooled for trail riding. The scenery is gorgeous! We saw free range cattle, deer, chipmunks and lots of birds, but alas no elk. The cattle had recently been moved to a higher pasture in the forest and that may have made the elk move further up the mountain. Ray said this was only the second ride this summer that he had not seen elk. This was the first ride we've taken where we did not see any signs of civilization except in the far distance. It truly was a very peaceful ride.We would definitely recommend Del's ranch for any kind of riding. They have one hour, two hour, half day (including lunch) rides and pack trips. They even have winter rides through the forest. Their prices are reasonable considering what you get. There were six others who were going out for rides and we were broken up into three groups, that made for quite a nice ride. When we come back to Colorado again we will definitely ride with Del's.

I normally don't go on horseback rides while on vacation since I have horses to ride at home. But I couldn't resist the scenery shown on the website! I was pleasantly surprised that although it was a nose to tail walk all the way - normal when taking out non-riders - the horse I had was obedient and would stay behind if asked, as well as sidestep on the trail when asked. It is a pleasure to ride well trained compliant horses on "tourist" rides!

Lovely ride, health, well cared for horses, knowledgeable staff, family-owned business. Overall, this was a great experience. I'm an experienced rider but I'd never ridden in such deep snow, or on trails where horses were actually stepping in the prints of those before them to stay on the established trail so, while it was single-file and walking all the way, this was an awesome new experience for me. The views were absolutely stunning! I definitely want to go back in the summer for a pack trip.

Awesome horseback riding through snow covered mountains. Beautiful, gently horses. Unbelievable, breathtaking views. Our guide was awesome. Ray told us some awesome stories and history of the 5th generation ranch. You don't want to miss visiting with these great folks. Highly, highly recommend this for all ages.

Ok guys, this is for the family or singles who love horses and nature. Hire a one-hour ride between November and March and you will be slowly moving through gentle rolling hills covered with pine, aspen and cottonwood groves. If the original trail is getting too deep, the owner bobcats a trail for you. The horses are sweet and sullen ( maybe too sullen for a cowboy) but very safe. The guide, Perk, is an endless source of information. His father, Ray, was involved in all kinds of ski training and competition and knew Buddy Werner and Billy Kid well. The stories are great.If you are lucky you may spot couples of fat grouses running uphill from you.Finish this dream ride with a cup of hot chocolate and cookies. Look for Michelle Sommerville who works there as well as at F.M. Light and Sons. She is also a wonderful ski instructor. Knowledgable and sweet.Enjoy half a day skiing and take the other half off the slope. Go hug a horse!

Ray guided our group around for two hours. It was a lovely ride through rolling, snowy hills and aspen trees. It's a gorgeous, sprawling property. Ray pointed out the tracks of foxes, weasels, porcupines, etc. Our group had a mix of people with a lot of riding experience and people with no riding experience. It's probably a better bet for those with no riding experience. Like most commercial trail riding outfits (Del's also a working ranch), this place has some horses that have soured on the whole thing. They plod along with their noses to the tails of the horses in front of them. Regardless, it's a pleasant two hours and afterwards, you're greeted with hot chocolate and cookies. If you have a ski helmet, it's not a bad idea to bring it and wear it, even thought that's not very cowboy!

Del'sTriangle 3Ranch horseback ride was wonderful for our six year old grand daughter, my daughter and myself. Our grand daughter was much younger than the other children we saw coming and going but they gave her just the right horse! The trail was lovely going through aspen groves and reaching higher elevations to see the mountain vistas. Every staff person was excellent. We highly advise this ranch. For those who want to gallop over the countryside, this would not be the place although you can ask if they do those kinds of rides.

The area is just gorgeous and green with beautiful wildflowers in bloom! We saw elk, deer, and cows. :) We really liked our horses (however very gassy - haha!) because they were just the right size for each of our family. It would have been nice to have moved a bit faster though for a little more excitement.

We Took The Half Day Ride And It Was Great. We Went In Mid August So We Didn't See Any Elk But We Did Sight Several Mule Deer. Our Guide Was Very Friendly And Knowledgeable. The Only Things That Would Have Made It Better Were A Couple Elk Sightings And A Trot Here And There. I Would Definitely Recommend It, Especially If You Have Children.

I am so happy I chose Del's Triangle 3 Ranch for my winter horseback ride through the mountain trails! They all were so wonderful!I hopped on a shuttle van from Steamboat Ski area to get to the ranch. First off, the ride there was amazing! I driver, Ray, I presume the elder of the ranch, was a wealth of knowledge with an amazing life history! It was fascinating to hear his stories and history with Steamboat. He was definitely a true cowboy. We arrived at the ranch and were greeted by Perk, the ranch owner, and his friendly Australian Shepherd dogs. They had plenty of warmer winter boots to loan to us and also helmets if we wanted one. We each got our own horse and took off on the trail, with the dogs leading the way, of course! The horses were friendly and very calm. No need for any fear! They took their time going over the snowy and icy trails. The trail ride takes you away from civilization almost completely. You ride through trees, uphill and see beautiful, crisp, snowy mountain views. Perk, our trail guide, even got off his horse at one time and took each of our pictures on our horse with our cameras. Great for a memory! When we returned to the ranch, we were offered hot chocolate and cookies. Everyone was so friendly!The overall experience was wonderful! It is very apparent that the employees of the ranch truly care about their horses and treat them very well. It was great to see the respect between the horses and the staff. They love their horses!I would highly recommend this trail ride to anyone that is seeking to escape the city and experience winter in the quiet silence of the mountains.Traveler's tips for the winter ride:-Wear warm clothes! Warm boots/shoes are needed!-Wear a hat and gloves. Snowpants are a good idea too-Bring sunglasses; it gets bright out there with the snow and sun-Bring your camera! You are allowed to take pictures while riding
