“Where the mountains reach the sky" is just one way to describe the stunning country you’ll experience on horseback at North Fork Ranch.
North America > USA > Colorado > Shawnee
Established in 1985, North Fork Ranch rests quietly along one-half mile of the tranquil North Fork of the South Platte River. Our 520 acre ranch sits at an elevation of 8100 ft. and adjoins the Pike National Forest, Lost Creek Wilderness and Mt. Evans Wilderness. The Continental Divide with it's 14,000 foot snow-capped peaks are always visible to our west.
The North Fork valley is oriented east and west boasting amazing sunsets and long relaxing days of sunshine. The fresh evening air will sway your curtains and the quiet of the mountains will give you a magical night of sleep.
With the ranch set at 8100 feet, our rides take you to up to 10,000 feet, where high country meadows are showered with wild flowers and the crisp, fresh air and high mountain sun is a perfect invitation to relax and regroup.
