Summertime adventures take many shapes and forms in the picturesque surroundings of Granby Ranch.

1. Private Family Guided Hiking and Biking Tours
Spend an active and informative two hours, either on foot or two wheels, paired with a knowledgeable guide who will customize your outing based on your interests and ability.

Or, hit the trails on either an E-bike or a traditional mountain bike – rent, or bring your own – and experience an equally exciting guided outing, suitable for riders aged seven and older. Afterwards, grab lunch or dinner at Bluebird Bistro, our full-service bar and restaurant, located inside the base lodge. Check out our website to book your tour today!

Afterwards, ride the chair back to the base area or, if you’re more ambitious, hike some of those 40-plus miles of trails back to the bottom. You can purchase scenic chairlift tickets at http://www.granbyranch.com.
