North Forty Escapes, Oakley

Had an amazing experience and found the staff to be very accommodating and informative. We did the one hour dog sledding with a total of two families. We were greeted and taken to the nearby location by van. The guides were all very informative taking the time to explain and educate us all on the sleds and dogs. A great and informative experience, not to mention the spectacular backdrop. The guide stays on sled and explains so much about how the sled dogs work. My only complaint was that we left at almost 3:30 amd promptly were done at 4. So the hour was cut down. Unfortunately we were the last group but thought I’d get a bit more of an “experience” for the expensive cost related to the excursion. Overall a great time just a bit pricey for what you get!

Absolutely LOVE this Ranch! My now fiancé proposed to me on an incredible horseback ride into the high aspens with an INSANE view. I highly recommend a horseback tour - Fall is my favorite because the leaves changing in the entire canyon are so pretty. Ask for Bayou Dave as your guide!! He was really fun and extremely knowledgeable about wildlife. He taught us so much about the area and showed us signs of bear activity and bear claws in the trees! He was also incredible about safety and making sure everyone was good the whole trip! I will absolutely come back every year for this experience. I loved riding Margaret, the horse. She’s a beauty and eager to lead! There is also shotgun shooting and I hear dog sled rides in the winter are a blast.
