January Updates from the Elk River Guest Ranch

Random Thoughts

As much as Scott and I love how peaceful the winter season is, we continuously look forward to the summer months.  Warm days, sipping coffee on the lodge patio, clearing trails, working on fences, and cool evenings around the campfire are only a few of the enjoyable things that make up our spring and summers.  It's worth noting that what really makes for the perfect day around here (in my opinion) is one that requires a decent amount of physical exertion.  And once we're home, we can unwind with a great meal and relaxed evening around the fire together. 

You know, the summer experience for our guests is not a far cry from that.  While you don't have to have a 'decent amount of physical exertion,' you still are choosing to participate in an active vacation here.  Instead of lounging on the beach, you opt to ride, hike, kayak, raft, dance, and shoot.  Then again, we create a balance together.  We enter the natural world with an activity, and before we know it, we have an opportunity to step back a pace and reflect.  Our activity leads us to our peace.

New in 2018

With an increase in popularity for our fall season stays and since most of our staff leave us to return to college, we have decided to shorten our season for all-inclusive stays.  Our summer season will now be June 3rd to August 25th.  So, instead of continuing our traditional 'all-adults' weeks in September, we can work with those wanting that experience to choose weeks that will trend toward having all adults within the summer season.

Our availability in June and July is getting slim, so if you are set on coming either of those two months, be sure and reach out to us soon.  As of the end of December, August has more options available for larger families or reunion groups.

The summer will be here before you know it!  If you're interested in learning more about us, give us a call at (970) 879-1946 or email at info@elkrivergr.com.  We'd love to hear from you!
