Getting To Lake Mancos Ranch:

 

The ranch is located 35 miles west of Durango, Colorado, 17 miles from Mesa Verde National Park, 23 miles northeast of Cortez, Colorado and 1 1/2 hours from Telluride .  Commuter airlines serve both Durango and Cortez. 

 

Once you reach the town of Mancos (west of Durango 30 miles and east of Cortez 17 miles) on US Hwy 160, turn north onto Colorado Hwy 184 for a 1/2 mile, then right at County Road 42 for 4 miles and turn left at County Road N.  A quarter mile down the road you will see the ranch on your left just before Jackson Lake, look for all of the red buildings.

 

We are happy to recommend the Colorado Dude & Guest Ranch Travel Services (1-800-729-5521, code #0914) to help you with your air travel plans; they are experts at getting you to out of the way spots in Colorado.  If you plan any off ranch activities, we recommend renting a car.  We offer complimentary airport transfers on Sunday afternoon and Saturday morning if you choose to make the ranch your only destination.  Many of our guests have found it economical to fly into Albuquerque, New Mexico and take the scenic 4 1/2 hour drive to the ranch.
