The ranch is uniquely suited to athletes and other fitness enthusiasts with a 5k running/walking trail and a well stocked indoor/outdoor gym with kettlebells, TRX equipment, squat and bench racks, plyo boxes, bands, rowing and cycling machines, basketball hoop, and all manner of agility equipment.   Gym cost is $10 per person or $25 for a group of four.   Gym users must sign a liability waiver.  

The camping area is about 1/4 mile from the main house and about 500 meters from the gym and potable water.

Mountain Goat Lodge Tipis

We are located in central Colorado in pristine wilderness, yet just 6 miles from the historic town of Salida. In addition to the tipis, we are a full service Bed and Breakfast lodge. We have campers and a vintage trailer available to rent. 

The tipis have a full-sized bathhouse for use by our tipi guests. Guests need to provide their own toiletries and towels.

New in 2022: We have added a queen sized bed and mattress to each of the tipis.. Campers still should bring their own bedding (sleeping bags, pillows) or if need be, can rent bedding from us.
