Details about Redwing Ranch:
  • ~3500 acres
  • Located at 7500' - 8300' elevation depending on where you scramble
  •  A mile of the Huerfano river bisects the Ranch
  • We raise beef cattle and alfalfa hay
  • You can see the Sangre de Cristo Mountains to the west , Wet Mountains to the North and Spanish Peaks to the Southeast
  • Public land hiking is an hour away, and there is lots of it! But there is also plenty of places to explore on the ranch itself!

Food and Beverage    

We will be coordinating meals (let Christy know if you would like to be head chef for a meal) but would love help if you want to pitch in on ideas, cooking or booze.  All meals will have a vegetarian option (not just salad!). Please let us know in your RSVP if you have dietary considerations we can accommodate.

We will also have a keg but knowing the booze-drinking-fish in this group, and the distance to the nearest store (50 minutes), please pack your favorite reserves.

Costume Contest

That's right, wacky costumes are a matter of points in the Ranchin' Games! This year we are channeling our animal nature and wearing ANIMAL PRINTS. Go tacky, glamorous or channel with your inner Furry, either way be sure to dress to impress! Costumes will be part of your score, so dress wisely for impact and athleticism.

Shootin'

We love to shoot clay pigeons at the Shootin' Shack, so if you have a shotgun please feel free to bring it. HOWEVER, we have a strict NO LEAD policy at Redwing, so be sure to pick up some non-lead game loads before coming down. They are only about a $1 more per box at Walmart or Cabela's so you have no excuse!

No hand guns during the party weekend please.

Camping

 There is no shortage of places to throw down a bed roll (or a tent for those of you who are less cowboy), but not all of them will have soft grass so don't forget the sleeping pad! Also, afternoon showers are common in monsoon season so bring the rain fly.

We will have portable loos and wash sinks, solar showers and there are a couple showers in the the house. And there is always the river to freshen up in! :)

There will also be a few beds and overflow floor space in the Main house, Bunk House, Art Studio and Wolfano House if you are flying in and don't want to haul the tent. Touch base with Christy if you are flying in and would like to snag a bed in the house.

Games!!!!!
2022 will be the 3rd Biannual  Ranchin' Games (yeah, 2020 is pretty much a write-off year for fun so we won't dwell on that!) so bring your festive spirit and some shoes that you can move quickly in! These games will test your city slicker ways in the ranchin' life. Fabulous prizes for those that succeed! 

We also have horse shoes, corn hole, badminton and other party games and 3,500 acres to explore and inspire new games  :)

What to Bring 

  • Clothes ~ The weather in the Colorado mountains can be unpredictable so bring layers. The days will likely be warm, 80+ degrees and the nights comfortable to cool. However, we can have thunder storms and wind at any time so a light rain jacket can be nice. Also, don't forget your closed-toe shoes for the games and scrambling up the cliffs.
  • PPE ~ don't forget your personal protective equipment! Sunscreen, hats and sunglasses. It is high altitude living!
  • Swimming ~ bring your suit, nothing better than taking a dip in the refreshing running water of the Huerfano River on a hot day! 
  • Headlamps/flashlights ~ just a reminder, it is fantastically dark out at the ranch! So bring some light for navigating after hours just incase the stars are not bright enough for you.
  • Chairs ~ if you have camp chairs it would be awesome for you to bring them!

Dogs

Well behaved dogs that don't run away or chase livestock are always welcome. It's good if they don't steal food off of tables too!
