What's this trip about?

    Art lovers looking for great vacation idea will love the special Art & Color Clinic week. These art workshops are held from September 10th-17th. This is an adults-only week here on the dude ranch, which focuses on helping guests learn more about art. Everything from drawing to painting is taught by an exceptionally talented artist. Pat Fullerton, your instructor during this week, is an art teacher with over 50 years experience. The supplies during the Art & Color Clinic are all provided by the Colorado Trails Ranch.  Everyone finds that a week spent on the ranch in the San Juan Mountains a moving, even life changing experience. For artistically inclined people around the world, the countryside surrounding Colorado Trails Ranch is an inspiration that helps artists, both novice and accomplished, to better their skills. The panoramic scenery around the dude ranch intensifies with fall colors. The depth of the looming mountains, green pines, stunning blue Colorado skies, turning leaves and wildflowers give artistic guests much to paint and draw. This week offers guests a lot more in the way of fun that the art workshop’s lessons and challenges. As with all of The Colorado Trails Ranch all inclusive vacations, you’ll also be able to enjoy horseback riding, hiking, fishing and many more fun activities. Improving your skills at drawing and painting gets much easier with personal time for relaxing and adventure.
