High up in the San Luis Valley, the Colorado Sports Ranch occupies over 100 acres. Joyful Journey Hot Springs is 10 minutes away, and Great Sand Dunes National Park is visible from the property. The highest concentration of 14,000 foot peaks in Colorado is in this area with trail heads in nearby Crestone. White water rafting and all manner of paddling are available on the Arkansas River in nearby Salida, as well as access to some of the finest mountain biking in the world, particularly the Monarch Crest Trail.  

World class fly fishing can be found on the Arkansas River, and Blue Mesa Reservoir is home to all varieties of trout, pike, and kokanee salmon. We are happy to arrange tours with local guides and adventure providers. 

The Colorado Sports Ranch and Refugee is a working, off-grid, sustainable homestead. Horses, goats, chickens, ducks, turkeys, dogs, cats, and a donkey all share the property. Animal tours are available.

The ranch is uniquely suited to athletes, with a 2-mile running/walking trail and a well stocked open air gym with kettlebells, TRX equipment, squat and bench racks, plyo boxes, slacklines and all manner of agility equipment. The camping area is about 1/4 mile from the main house and about 500 meters from the gym and potable water.
